<p>[QUOTE="Lennythedriver, post: 12216279, member: 295440"]Some companies do and some companies don’t. Usually the bigger companies have their own doctor and to be honest with you they’re usually a little bit more lax than going to like a clinic on your own. At least that’s been what I found. When I first got into trucking I saw the nurses testing new drivers blood pressure like 15 times until they got the reading they wanted. Lol even coaching them to lay back and relax in a dark room for 20 or 30 minutes. Telling them to come back the next day and not have their coffee. Lol</p><p>But here’s the thing, some trucking companies are so cheap they’ll just tell you to go get your own and you have to pay for it. And it literally is because they don’t wanna pay for it. So that’s not a good thing either because if they’re that cheap with that they’re gonna be that cheap with other things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
