DOT medical examanation

I worked with two drivers that had artificial heart valves & got a DOT physical every 12 months. One drove for many years & is probably still driving; the other was a heavy smoker and junk food eater and went on Social Security disability at a youngish age in his 30's. So, get a DOT physical and see what happens.

 

Any doctor that does DOT physicals will have the card and forms so buying them in advance is a needless expense .

 

If you have a Petro truck stop near by, check and see if they offer DOT physicals there. Some of them do, and it should only cost you about $60. Unless you have health insurance that will cover that specific physical.
