Starting August 27 I will be attending the local community college to take their commercial truck driving program and they require you to have your DOT Physical taken, had the physical done today and all is good, only problem is that im overweight but according to my doc they have yet to change this for a DOT physical, BP was good, blood sugar was good.

Congratulations!
Make sure to be proactive on your weight, buddy ( = -
Congrats,
Don't take the overweight thing lightly though.
Stay at a desirable weight and you will in turn easily pass most of your next physical with flying colors. So many deciding factors in the physical can be directly related to weight issues.
Sitting is a truck, it is easy to begin to gain weight. Don't wait....start working at it now and often.
I how your future career brings health and wealth.
CONGRATS!!! -
How thorough was it?
I've been to some where they practically strap you down on that padded platform and start tickling you...or at least it felt like it...so much so I started laughing...and couldn't stop...people in the hall walking by thought something odd was going on...
He kept pressing down on the abb muscles, and I kept laughing...
And that was just the beggining of it...
Then the last one I had, a few weeks ago...all they did was make me fill out a form...and do yoga....and that was it...
I don't like when they make you take it all off, put on that paper towl robe, and wait in the room...'The doc will be with you in a minute'....
Expecially the ones who come in and think their groucho marx...enough with the jokes, your a doctor, not a comedian... -
Congrats on passing the DOT.

fat truck drivers will be a thing of the past.
