    So as I continue my career search in trucking, I am reminded of an old injury from 2006.

    I had a workers comp case for bulging disc's in my lower back. (L3 and L4)

    Will this disqualify me for a job? I know I can pass the DL-51 physical and rarely have pain, but will companies see a red flag somewhere and reject me?

    Please inform me of the situation before I sell my only car to pay for truck driving school.

    I have no problem with being honest, just want to know if having that old injury will red flag me.

    I was able to get a job with an injury that left me unable to walk for 3 years starting in 2006. Shouldn't be a problem.
