Do I NEED to surrender my cdl (paranoia diagnoses )

More information needed:

Who did the diagnosis, and was it requested by a company?

Can you get a second opinion/diagnosis?

Are you being prescribed medication, and if so does it preclude you from driving?

 

Don't surrender it, just let it expire. You can't use it anyway for commercial driving since you can't pass the physical, so just let it expire.

 

This guy is a troll, he's only posted BS trying to get you all worked up but IRL he's a couch potato who has 0 intention of doing any actual work.

This is like his 4th or 5th invented diagnosis.
I believe it started with simple anti-truckeritis, which brought about a case of vision polaritis (but there's a 1 year backup wait at eye doctor to get an eye exam),
then it flared up into... I forget... maybe allergy to plastic knob on air valve... and onto paranoia of any truck larger than a Tonka.

 

There is a book that the ME looks in that tells a driver what disqualifies a driver and how long. I got sick and had pulmonary embolism. Dot says it disqualifies me for 3months and have to show blood was under control b4 I could be issued a new med card. I don't no if you are fully in control. But if you want to still drive you may cant drive intrastae check in see if you can handle driving interstate. Caz if you dont leave your state there are different rules. If you are cool with a doc office that do med cards I would go ask. You might be surprised. I say dont give up if u still want to drive. Good luck!!!!

 

What do you mean you can't drive? Most truckers are paranoid -- just sit at a lunch counter and say Obama or fmcsa...


I don't give 2 ##### if you ever drive a truck again, but instead of trying to find a job or career you're trying to find a golden ticket entitlement diagnosis. Ken Kesey wrote a novel about someone doing that -- maybe you might want to give it a read?
