most FAT truck drivers as landstar would say can't pass a DOT physical and that is the goverments fault?
blood clots are a real problem in the industry
not to be taken lightly
blood pressure , sleep apnea and diabetes are not made up by the lunactic fringe left leaning populace
Miss jhawk
If SSI is in your future I might suggest a good lawyer versed in disability
they charge nothing up front and 25% of your claim once it is approved
just on the back balance
after getting repeatedly denied for my son with MS
a lawyer navigated the system and a year later was approved
$18000 from the government $4500 of that to the lawyer
sounds like a lot until you realize you still have $13500 and you were not denied again with nothing
Good Luck
am shut down by DOT for 3 months again

Brian Vickers dropped out of the end of the 2013 NASCAR season due to a blood clot in the calf of his right leg. He missed most of the 2010 NASCAR season with blood clots in his legs and around his lungs.

overly obese people cant pass physicals? honestly i think there should be an actual PHYSICAL portion to the test, foodservice companies already do it but thats self explanatory
BP, apnea and diabetes are not made up? unless someone is sneaking in our windows at night and we suddenly wake up with high BPlandstar8891 Thanks this. -
Instead of arguing, heed this as a warning. This could happen to you. You've got one body. Take care of it. Your career isn't the only thing you'll lose.

Also, more than likely, all this occurs with heavy equipment operators too: backhoes, bulldozers, cranes, excavators, along with other types of heavy construction equipment.
