    I suggest you learn all of the reasons a person can be disabled and still work. Not all disabled are wheel chair bound.

    We get that. But we still have to ignore a lot of other realities to accept the idea some truck drivers ONLY have "handicapped needs" at truck stops but otherwise move around well enough to be a truck driver.

    Let's be honest. A lot who are claiming handicapped status and are truck drivers have an issue unrelated to mobility. (Which is the point of "reserved parking close to entrance") If their mobility was truly an issue, they could not perform some normal day-to-day tasks of a truck driver [in the real world].

    You are still able to drive with health issues that are disabling. It is apparent, you really do not care. If you did, you would take the time to learn. It is not my job to educate you. Learn for yourself. I hope you are lucky to not ever have the problem, but it might serve well to teach you.

    Mobility is not the only problem. You can be disabled by other reasons.

    Even copd will cause you to fail a dot exam if it's bad enough. Medic even you have to admit people game the system. Which hurts everyone especially those that are disabled
