    Hi,,,,,

    I have a ?.My Husband been driving for almost 8 years OTR.He switched companys about 4 mos ago and likes them.Well 2 weeks ago while on hometime he had a bad asthma attack because he had a new med,not his usual and it did not work for him.He stayed in the hosp.for about 3 days,got clearded to return to work.He called Disp and was told he had to talk to safety,wich he did and thats when the problems started.:biggrin_25510:
    Safety told him on the 1 st day,,,he needs to see another Dr,his reg pcp and get cleared,then he will have to go and redue a DOT pys.He went to his Dr. got cleared by him,,,faxed note to safety and several hrs later was told he needed go back and have the DR. write on the release slip that he is,,,"""",cleared with no restricktions or limitations""",,,so he went back next day and got this done,,,,,,,faxed it to safety,,,,,and was told they will call him,,,,,,then next day ,when he got a call from safety,he was told to go to DOT for a pys,and call safety right after.Hubby went passed all but the treadmill portion by 1 point,everything else was fine.He called safet and was told they will call him back,(no call back yet)but he did get a call from disp,,,,,,they wanted him to clean out his truck tonite,because the truck is not making money just sitting there and was told as soon as safety clears him(another DOT pys)they would put him in another truck.I'm worried that they will just let him go,which will make it hard for us.He has no problems driving safe,or doing his job.He has no other med cond.other then Asthma.Anybody else had issues with this???

    Safe driving to all of you.
