CDL Practice Exams / DOT Physical

I decided to take my CDL Practice exams on 3 different websites And here are the results.

General Knowledge 100% out of 100 Questions
Air Brake 98% out 50 question
Combination Vehicles 92% out of 40 questions

I want to take the Written yesterday And they told me I needed my DOT Physical card before I could. One minor detail I was not given by anyone. After calling the Driving school I will be attending, The Department of Public Safety and DMV, Not a word was uttered that I needed the Physical before the written. Oh well Ill keep studying until the physical is complete, and hopefully have those 98% and 92% up to 100% by then.

I am beginning to wonder if this detail was never given to me, what other Obstacles are out there that can prevent me moving forward. Will i need Social Security card information, birth certificates, what is a complete list of things not listed will I be asked for.

 

A Duck Waddle?

A Duck Waddle?

Um, Prime was one of my top choices for a starter carrier, but please enlighten me as to what a duck waddle is, is the like skipping while ducking or something?

I have 20/17 vision (Can read 2 lines below the 20/20 line on the eye chart with an error of 2 letters)
I am 5'9" and weigh 190 pounds (that is down from 225 in the past 6 months and continue to lose)
Hearing Problems none to speak aside from hearing Bass more clearly then Trebel
Out of my many visits to the Hospital for my Back I have always maintained a perfect blood pressure
I am currently taking Percocet for lower back pains and my DOT Physical is on the 10th of July

I also researched The DOT physical passing requirements and understood as long as you have a prescription for the current drug that is not a Stage 3 drug all would be fine. Is this not the case? Are there some hidden rules I should have found on this?

 

The back pain is being managed, I take a pain pill for the current list of jobs I am doing, most recently I was a truck unloader/loader Working 13 hour shifts with no breaks really takes it out on the back, I think i can handle it.

 

Should i tell the physician about my current experiences about why the drug is in my system?
Or does that even matter and am i safe?

 

hmm I want to try that, but Me thinks the wifey and kids will begin laughing so hard they will cry

 

So they aren't specific for a reason, they frown upon certain stage 2 drugs with prescription regardless.
