    I had an eye exam 2 weeks ago. I'm waiting for my glasses to come in now. However, even with the glasses the best my vision would be able to be corrected to is 20/150.

    Wow! That is pretty awesome. I know it's not the end of the world but I know that vision is a big part of the physical. I've been around the trucking industry for 25 years. The past 5 I have wanted to get into it myself. I am finally in a position to do that and I'm just hoping that this doesnt hold me back.

    Yeah, I knew him, we called him "Lucky". I heard, Colorado put vision tests on hold because of the virus. I don't SEE how they could do that.

    I always try to seek out the eye chart and memorize the line when I get into the physical area. Works good normally, but last time they asked me to read the line backwards!

    I'm just trying to go about it the right way. I dont want it problems in the future over it. I figured you had to read more than one line. Also, do they not make you do the eye exam at the BMV when you go to actually get your CDL?
