If the diagnosis suggests that the condition might interfere with the control and safe operation of a commercial motor vehicle, further testing and evaluation is required.

 

depends on the condition of it

 

started to get on with Schneider in Jan. Told the medical team I have a hernia. Wrong move. They told me I had to get the operation which now I had done it in sept. had it done feb 7. post op appt with the doctor on feb 20. had to go back two more times to get the correct paperwork signed and faxed to the medical team. Now they saw in the paperwork about a weird heartbeat thing I had looked at last year. I have to go back again to get that taken care of and my doctor messed up on the hernia paperwork about restrictions (should be none as of mar 11 he told me but showed until apr 1). I have a window of 3 months from my refresher course taken in dec and the orientation I am trying to get is on the 19th. For me, if I had to do it again I wouldn't have mentioned the hernia at all. I've had two and know what to expect. Whatever notes you need from the doctors be careful and specific on what is needed.
