    I would NOT volunteer Any information to the person doing the DOT physical. All that does is give them more to look at.

    Why did it take you six months to get a CDL when it takes less than a month for most?

    Last but not least I hope you are not expecting a lot of money when you first start driving. With three kids I would be looking for something other than driving so you can be with your kids.

    So you recommend me not saying anything about it? It took 6 months for me to get my CDL because that is what the school offered, I went with this school because I was able to get financial aid to go there and since I am low income, it was paid for for me and I did not have to pay the full amount. I dont expect alot of money but I do hope to make a decent living, better then working part time at target or even fulltime at safeway, which was my last job. I would like to maybe one day go back to school for my PharmD, I got 2 years in and then the money became an issue and being a trucker was a quicker way to make money now not in 4 more years.

    Yes that happens some time trace amount of blood will show up .my doctor said that some men have trace amount of blood in there urin after sex just depends on the situation . It's a pain if you have to get a DOT physical every 6 months
