DOT Physical Question

Call the school and see if they will accept that physical.

 

You need to know two things with a DOT physical.

Say NO until the doctor runs out of questions prefaced with do you have...

Do not volunteer information. If the doctor does not detect a problem checking you, it is likely not a problem. Unless you make it one.

 

Asking the internet gets you 50 different answers. Go in tomorrow and talk to your contact. He or she is what matters. Not the internet.

 

My med card was done in Dallas, TX. My license is Arizona, where I'm from.

I don't know the answer to what the school will accept though.

 

some companies will accept a DOT physical from any registered to do DOT physicals, doc,EMT, Nurse,clinic..some carrier will make you go to their doc.nurse,emt etc. you can get a physical in any state as long as they are on the DOTs register list.
As mentioned above do not volunteer any info not necessary, any past medical history that is not affecting you now do not mentions,,if you broke a leg, had a kidney removed do not mention .

 

Good advice.
"Do you snore?" (trying to find sleep apnea problems)
"NO, my wife says I don't."
If you're a little overweight or have a large neck, many companies will want a sleep apnea test done. This is sometimes required with companies that require another physical because they don't accept your CDL school physical. If this is a concern to you, then apply with companies that don't require another physical.
