DOT physical confusion for new driver

Life is not a therapy session. For some reason too many people think if they spill every detail about their life nothing bad will happen. Double-ditto anything related to drugs. It's OK to not blow up your career. Some people recommend it.

 

Honesty is not always the best policy.

I think people just want to do the right thing. Tell the truth, mom said, well, doesn't work that way anymore. I've been in scales during a blitz, and I saw 1st hand how some drivers got themselves in worse trouble by shooting their mouths off. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but a lesson learned, I bet. Again, you'll be fine, nothing went anywhere, you're still cool, but in the future, discretion is advised.

 

All companies get bad reviews. The happy, content drivers usually don't post anything.

 

I worked for one company that had a strict policy of no tattoos. I have quite a few from my Navy days. When I learned about the no-tattoo policy, I wore a long sleeve shirt to the interview and orientation. Was hired and about 18 mos or so later the terminal manager noticed a tattoo showing from my long sleeve shirt. He said, If I'd know about that, wouldn't have hired you, but you're one of our best drivers, so you get a pass on that.
