    Yeah, new hires generally will get their physical from the truck company's Doc who sends the completed long form/wallet card to the safety dept since they're paying for it. Then, on top of that, they will also do a drug screen to make sure the new-hire is drug free and also send that to the safety dept. The drug screen that's included with the physical is a "dip stick" instant results and actually is a blood sugar test. So, at the end of orientation and assuming he's hired, management will give the new hire his wallet card and a copy of the long form and keep a copy for the files.

    supposed to give a copy of the form to the person who whizzed. It has the control number on it and the driver calls that number in so the company can get the results.

    Med card is usually issued on the spot results pending. Was my experience anyway.
