Agreed...Don't "Give em anything to Work against you or they will."Well,it says here you don't get enough sleep and have trouble sleeping"? Ok,"You're a Prime candidate for our new XP SLEEP MACHINE"Oh you're old and your neck is 17 and 1/4 inches.It's only $2000 tore out of your pocket.

 

Wouldn't you be taking a physical once you go to the school?

Then another with which ever carrier you are good on to.

 

You can get your physical in Alaska if you want. As long as the place / doctor / NP is DOT approved / registered, your good to go.

Just make sure you have the long form. When you get to your home state, make a copy of said long form, and give it to them. Your all set.

DO NOT give them the original, cause it will vanish, then you gotta go back to wherever you took it, and get another copy.

 

The z hook may want u to dot st the local one they use. Ca 'll 10am.
I get em done wherever I'm at when it's time. I'm year to year. Had em done where the co. Told me to go. Many states involved

 

Some carriers don't require another physical & will accept the cdl school physical. All those carriers do is check blood pressure and drug test.
If you don't want another full physical, call carriers you're interested in and ask it they require another physical. There's a bunch that don't.
Here's a few:
Freymiller
TransAm
Magnum Ltd.
J&R Schugel
Navajo Express
Danny Herman Trucking
Romans Motor Freight
& many more out there.
