    Hey guys. I've been looking around reading the good, the bad, and the uglyabout different company's to start with and I think im gonna go with PAM. My question is,I have my arkansas cdl and I've just gotten a dot physical done by my doctor. Will I have to have another physical done by the drivers solutions doctor or will he one I just had done work?

    Most companies that i know of will do there own physical when you go to their orientation....they won't except an outside medical long form, just call them and ask, if the recruiter is any good he/she should be able to tell you....Good Luck!!!

    No company wants to be held responsible for a falsified DOT physical. I've been with PAM for over 3 years and they've always had me go to their doctors for my physicals, including while at C-1.
