    How would that be? And could I get a waiver from the FSMCA with my doctors backing.

    That’s ONLY when the Zebra with the wrong way stripes shows up to hang upside down next to me! I’ve told him a hundred times the bar isn’t designed to support both of us!

    Is your doctor a FSMCA authorized doctor to give DOT physicals?
    If not, a waiver is very doubtful.
    You can try though.

    Maybe go to a different doctor. Again, there’s plenty of places to go; any Urgent Care type place does simple DOT physicals.

    The minute clinic at CVS is where I get my dot physical
    Done

    much quicker than any other place, especially the occupational places that do dot physicals all day every day.

    I've heard stories of drivers in wheel chairs, is that true. Also, I've read of amputee's getting DOT physicals. How are they pulling it off. Hell, I just have a walker, I just can't run or jump. I'm also not diabetic, and I have all feeling in my feet and legs.

    Maybe @Moose1958 will show you the reference as to where to begin getting a waiver.

    True, but those drivers got waivers. I don't know the process for that though.
