Yes, there are quacks among us. I watched a video on Ebaum's World where a dentist was pulling more teeth than necessary. One poor soul had all of...
That was Swift's DOT Dr. telling me this. Gratefully, I was allowed to go back to the hotel and rectify myself. They gave me like 3 or 4 hours....
Something to keep in mind, though, the requirements for non-exempted is much different than those who are exempted. For example, the first day I...
Incorrect! I am a type 2 and successfully received the exemption and my numbers usually hover around 200 mg/dl + or -. My A1C did not affect the...
The DOT Waiver does not consider A1C. In fact, it requires the driver to stay within 100 mg/dl to 400 mg/dl. Anything outside that range requires...
To the OP, I applied for and was exempted for a short period. I can tell you that having a 250 mg/dl should not be an issue. The Waiver program...
I believe they will find out from the DOT examiner regardless. Don't quote me on that though.
You're better off with your control than most. When I had my first physical @ Swift, they did both a pee test and checked blood sugar. According...
Well, this is all interesting. I drove for Swift a couple years and don't believe I ever saw anyone else pulling our trailers.
On my way to work, I saw a red Coca-Cola Day Cab pulling a Swift Trailer through Wichita, KS. Any reason why?
This is accurate info. FMCSA for non-insulin dependent diabetics dictate an AIC of 8 or lower OR a glucose reading of 200 or lower. @LMB: "I am...
Depends. Are you on insulin? If so, then you must become exempted by the FMCSA first. If you are not on insulin and pills only, then the dr....
I used a 200 watt inverter for my gaming lappy. As for internet, I got real lucky with AT&T. At the time, I had a basic phone with basic internet....
It does now! :biggrin_2559:
I do not see any supportive data with citations. You make many claims, but where do you get your data from? In order to make a persuasive essay...
Speaking of proposed interstates, I'd like to propose US-54 from Tucumcari, NM to Wichita, KS and US-400 from Wichita, KS to Joplin, MO be...
To the OP, DOT does have a program for insulin dependent diabetics. I am on it myself. It takes some foot work to complete and tons of time for...
I would highly advise taking your own vehicle. The lodging isn't horrible. They do bunk you with about 3 other people in one room. However, the...
This, too, will be a concern of mine when I get re-hired by Swift. I had to stop driving due to health reasons; and now that I am exempted, I can...
Yeah, I could see how a company would would want to react this way when they witness videos of their own drivers breaking the law. The driver dug...
