DOT Physical question

Glad to hear you got your medical card. How did you know you were put into the fmsca database for a 45 day deferral until more testing was done! Did the NP tell you that's?

I had trouble getting my card last year, as I have multiple conditions but am treated by specialists for them. But this year the clinic had a new NP and she issued my card the same day I was there, for one year, which is what I always get. I was about to give up last year on getting a medical card....glad I kept after it.

 

What is the bmi anyways is it like 35?

 

Crete will test you if you're over 35, there is no national rule yet, they're working on it now, probably should find the website to comment on it

 

It sounds like crete's company idiot has created a sleep apnea screening protocol that doesn't exist.

Does Crete also sell cpap machines?

 

Yes they do

 

Surprising how some people here advise to lie on the health history form, a legal document.

IF you are on regular medication You Have To Disclose Your Illness And All Medication. ALL!!!

Because if you don't, your medicine automatically becomes an ILLEGAL DRUG. No matter how many years you had prescriptions by your regular Dr..

Don't let people tell you otherwise. Drivers can be quick giving bad advice, because that's how THEY do it.... UNTIL they get caught.

 

They don't even have to get inspected. Their cdl is automatically suspended if an approved Dr doesn't submit a passing physical to the fmcsa.

I suppose one could operate with out a cdl and not get caught for a while.

 

That's complete idiocy. Cite the regulation that states lawfully prescribed "medicine automatically becomes an illegal drug."

You can't cite the regulation because it does not exist.

 

That would explain why Crete's company idiot has invented his own little bogus sleep apnea screening criteria.

 

35% body fat is high. It would not surprise me if the body fat percentage was dropped to ball park figures of 22% for men and 25% for women.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
