    NO !! but for some odd reason companies like to waste money and make you take it anyways just so they have a reason to fire you and mess up your dac if you fail the test.

    Yes, that is my concern too. Jumping through all the DOT hoops to pass the physical to get into school. Passing the physical...go to school...quit my job to start a new driving job...and get turned away because I had to take yet another DOT physical and this time a letter from my prescribing doctor not being good enough.

    I know that I am putting the cart ahead of the horse and I should take one thing at a time.

    Definitely, calm down, and jump off that bridge when you get to it.

    Unfortunately Choo Choo, since you only got certed for a year, even with your long form you may still have to go thru this mess again, because most companies want to see at least one year left on your physical.
    Good luck bud, and don't let the white coat scare you...
