Maverick recruiting/ physical question

Good morning everyone. This is my first post so hopefully I am doing this right. Ok so I applied for Maverick recently and I missed a recruiter's phone call yesterday and am planning on calling him back this afternoon. The other day I renewed my DOT physical and found out that my blood pressure is right on the limit of 2 year cert and 1 year cert, but not high enough for me to be put on medication yet. The doctor said if I could lose 10-15 pounds she is confident that my blood pressure will not be an issue, and after reading how stringent Maverick is with their physical I don't want to be sent down just to make a fool of myself. So anyway, I was just wondering if you all think it would be ok if I discussed the situation with the recruiter and ask him if I could have a month or so just to try and get myself on the right path and work on my blood pressure?

By the way Maverick is absolutely where I want to be. I have read so many good things about them and did a lot of research, I'm not all too interested in many other starter companies other than Maverick, so I am going to keep my fingers crossed that this all works out.

Thanks everybody!

 

Thank you RickG. I am cutting out caffeine and I started a low sodium diet and exercise program today. The doc tellin me it wouldn't hurt to lose a few pounds was the kick in the butt I needed to get motivated. And I will buy a home monitor and keep records. good advice!
