DOT card question

If you answered a question one way for one exam and answered it another way which possiby detected a medical condition, drug use or some other issue that caused a doctor to decline to issue a card to you.. well. We don't know what it is and cannot be precise.

I usually retain a original copy over the years DOT Cards have no value to companies who ship you right out for another physical.

Consider that a whole section on DOT Medical in the DOT Regulations and FMCSA is invalid to the entire industry because the stupid companies send everyone to yet another physical. That will have to be stopped.

 

if you failed that dot physical. then thats your current dot status if he uploads info. which im sure he would. dont never self amit to anything. if you get your hand caught then tell the truth.

 

Dont you have your long form from 1st physical?
Thought we were not required to carry card anymore

 

We are not. I'm sure the new company will want proof though. That's if the new company will even accept an old card.

As for the op, why not get a dr appointment and get him to write the letter needed? Just tell him what happened, all of it, and he likely will sign off. Worst case is he says no and to go get a sap. You will be in no worse shape than now.

 

That's not a second opinion, that's Dr. shopping.
A second opinion is fine. Dr. shopping is illegal.

The difference is if you lie to the second Dr. or not. You can go get another physical, but you have to tell the Dr. the same thing you told the first one.
You might wanna call a second dot physical place and ask them what will happen if you answer yes to that question. That Dr. may not care.
