    After reading all these threads about the DOT physical it just dawned on me I need to do it before I start school next month. I just had knee surgery for a torn meniscus. I am walking around just fine will this even be an issue at the exam???

    I doubt it, I've seen guys that can barely pull themselves up into the cab pass the DOT physical.

    Don't sweat it, do some more research and make sure you can pass whatever extra testing your potential company may have. With a meniscus repair I wouldn't think it would prevent you from being able to complete any of the tasks.
