EW! I suggest you get rid of that pilonidal cyst and the pain medication that controls the pain. And, if you have driving experience, ask yourself truthfully if you are a safe driver. Then you may be ready for a truck driving career. Since you are 25 I presume you may have a few years of personal driving experience and that should be enough. Sitting for 11+ hours a day will make your cyst worse so get that cleared up ASAP. You may have to ask around to find a doctor to cut it out. Most #### doctors would rather push pain pills than solve the problem.

 

Surgery IS an option. However, be aware that most doctors will want to see it recurs frequently before they'll suggest it. Also, sometimes surgery doesn't work. It took 2 rounds of surgery to get my cyst completely removed. This after suffering through recurring bouts for over 4 years. After MANY rounds of horse pill antibiotics, and pain killers.

After surgery, depending on the size of the cyst, you can expect 4 to 8 weeks of recovery, much of that with narcotic painkillers, depending on the location of the cyst.

 

The riding around in a big truck, bouncing around, is liable to bring on more occurrences. Just a warning from someone who has been there.

 

I have no idea. That may depend on the state requirements. But they can't run an MVR if you don't have a license, and won't let you stay if they can't find an MVR.
