    Can someone let me know how thorough the DOT physical is in CA? Do they pull past medical records? Or is it more like a basic physical? How far do they go back?? Thanks

    if you go to the same place, year after year, they pull up your file. i used to go to Concentra, but i had to pay cash. so i went someplace else for $10 cheaper. hey, $10 is $10...

    i been trucking for over 25 years, i have yet to see my million dollars..!!!

    nowadays even if you have, a dot medical, you'll need a new one at the company you start with but its pretty simple as others stated, blood pressure, vision, not even a real hearing test, they tell you to cover each ear and whisper. some companies do a workforce wellness test which can a lot more strenuous, lift heavy stuff, walk around the room, bend over, etc
