DOT Physical

I am planning on getting my CDL/driving school training at my expense. I have read that having had a previous workmans comp claim could affect the out come of my D.O.T. physical, passing or failing. The WC claim was related to a construction work incident, shoulder pain. All is well now and I have a work release with NO restrictions and have been back to work.
Will, or could this create problems for me with the DOT physical or securing employment after school is complete?

 

I have read on a couple company sites re: DOT physical- prior work comp could affect your status for hire, along with of course heart related issue's. I have been looking for authenticity of what the physical involves. I have found some sites but with all the uncertainty of what you find sometimes on the web, I wanted to ask the folks that know by experience.

 

I appreciate your response Big Don. This is what I want to do. I have matured over the years and having traveled through many parts of the world over the last 20 years I truly want to see the United States, what I have never seen and all the places I have. I can't say I have ever been anywhere in this US that doesn't make me proud in some way.
