Walmart physical exams

Something fishy here...

 

You go to Walmart's doctor. A friend of mine who drives out of another D.C. says they use a chiropractor for company physicals because it's cheaper. More bonus money for management.

 

You cannot. When you pass your road test they will send you to a doctor's office they use for a physical and drug screen.

 

No. It's a doctor that is part of the testing company.

Your personal doctor will not be able to test you because that test will not be approved. Nor will the drug test. There is too much chance for leakage if someone tested at the personal doc, such as myself. He might give me a two year if the exam went well. And that will be a form of fraud knowing what is all over my charts more than 20 years running.

I recall testing with Covenant in Tennessee, that one was a fisaco because the doctor required a simple hearing test in a large room with 50 applicants being tested and doing paperwork of different kinds plus interviews. There is no way you could expect that level of noise to be lower than the assigned test standard by DOT. So I failed it on the spot. If I went to my hearing doctors I can generate a chart showing where I am with the hearing, but it would not be accepted. FMCSA did, but not the company.

If you have nothing going on with your life as some did what with the drug habits and so on, you have no fear from a Company doctor or any doctor or drug tests. Those will be negative as well. No worries.

Most people don't even ask, because most companies simply discard a outside physical test and send you back to their doctor for their physical test. You might be physical tested 5 times in a month if you went to that many orientations. There is no point of taking any test because it will be rejected by the next company to pull you into orientation. What good are they then you have ask yourself.

 

????

Company doctor. What are you trying to avoid?

 

I was told to bring in my Medical Card and they will use it if it isn't expired.

 

Incorrect. You need to have it for your road test. If you pass it, they are going to send you for a new physical and drug screen and you will be issued a new med card upon pass it.

 

Yes you have to use a company doctor...pray his name is not Dr. Bighands
