    Get another physical on your own money and do it right this time.
    The long form is what messed you up.

    These companies don't require a new physical, but you probably will be required to furnish the long form.

    I recently had a conversation at a restaurant with a physician who does DOT physicals. He told me the government is working on a system which will soon require all physicians to enter a driver's long form into a central database within 24 hours of the physical exam. They want to prevent disqualified drivers from being able to go elsewhere to get a medical card. The days of "doctor shopping" in order to get a better result are numbered.
