Beginning the Long Awaited CDL Process

Your not kidding.

 

I'm good. All of this is a byproduct of relocation combined with a lack of understanding how their system works.

I'll get through it OK. I just hate delays.

 

In my case, and maybe yours as well, a specialist will be required.

In relocating, I did not re-establish myself with an area MD who specializes in Pulmonary care and sleep disorders. Because of how much time has passed since my last evaluation, it's possible they may order up a sleep study before they sign off.

Having my MD up north sign off is pointless because he would need to see me and that's a 1000 miles away. All of this is my own doing.

I'll sort it out now, but I could have done this months ago and didn't.

My bad.

 

There is no way I could have known in advance. I would have to know a Swift driver that uses a CPAP.

It seems to me that it's a big deal to Swift because I, or anyone, will need to run the CPAP with no interruptions. So once you're hired, available power to run the CPAP becomes Swifts responsibility. I was told they would outfit the tractor. I guess if I make it through this madness, I'll find out.

I'll get myself squared away with the new MD. Hopefully, it'll be just a matter of a download and records being faxed from up north.

 

It sure does turn into an education for me as well as for anyone who is reading along.

It's funny how now that I need time to go by, it just crawls along.
