Help with my DOT physical

Take your meds. Get the glasses. Retake the physical.

 

You know WHY you didn't pass the physical. All I'm saying is that you should correct those issues (which on the surface seem easy enough to correct) and try again. There are people a lot worse off than you who have overcome much bigger problems and managed to pass the physical, so if it's something you WANT, excuses won't get you there. Go see an eye doc and get the problem fixed.

 

AFAIK 20/35 is the limit for uncorrected. See an optometrist, because vision correction has improved.

 

Go see a eye surgeon (Which is a higher skill level than just a walmart eye examiner...) and determine the cause and ability to correct that vision. Cataracts would be one example. Retinas would be another source etc. You will have your vision corrected to 20/20 as possible but after the work is done, glasses made and paid for etc and your ability to see better than 20/40 will be tested.

Your blood pressure must be below limits preferably without medicine. US Trucking is incredibly intolerant of medicine in general.

You are here, which means you are probably a dual citizen etc. So.. there is that. You might need to acquire certain documents to get a CDL here. Laws have been tightened recently. Make sure you have a enhanced license, because after 2020 you will not be able to board domestic USA flights without one or enter federal installations.

You have excuses as laid out by others. There are people sicker than you are who managed to get onto the road with a Semi truck.

Brush up on weights, axle limits and our American system of measurements etc. We are not Europe in many ways when it comes to trucking and vice versa.

 

I was going to say glasses and vision correction has come a ways over the decade.
