DOT TEST BEFORE SCHOOL

lol

 

The DOT test at CVS and these other places are physical exams? you guys were talking about drug tests and also physical exams. So they are 2 different tests at 2 different places or is it just 1 visit to one place and physical AND drug test is done at same place?

 

Why would you fail a physical? Half of the drivers are walking corpses to begin with and they all passed. I had blood in my piss and still got the full 2 years

 

The CDL school/company that hires you will tell you where to go for the drug test. Usually its at a concerta or something similar.

You can also get a physical at a chiropractor that offers DOT physicals. If youre really worried, I would go there. Theyre much faster and way less thorough.

 

Oh ok. Thanx

 

The DOT physical is the same everywhere, the examiner is different. The examination can be as cheap as $50 and as much as $200.

The DOT drug test is not part of it, you can do it any time at different locations, Concentra is a common place for it but the worst. I think the cost there is $80-$110, while some places charge less than $60.

Most places like CVS and your local doc can not do a legal DOT drug test. Concentra can.

 

Trucking schools are drug testing you because liability when you get out on the road with their truck. You'll need a physical, and to obtain a permit.

 

The school will ask for your medical certificate form MCSA-5876 and permit before classes start. I would think most schools would require a drug test but may accept a recent drug test from a company if you are already working for someone. An example of this would be a dock to driver training program.

 

“You don’t have to be naked for the physical.”

Well, crap, that sucks. I guess now nurse good body will just have to take my word for it. Of course, I suppose it’s only fair. I just wish they would’ve changed it in the other direction… where we both had to be naked.

No, that wouldn’t either. Every one would want a 3 month card. Hmmmm

 

Negative. Were I went you were given 10 weeks to get your physical done while in class. Then once you did that an obtained a CDL permit, you were drug tested ON SITE to clear you to begin maneuvers, and road driving with instructor. School: New England Tractor Trailer Training School.
