Failed My Lifting DOT Physical-Please help

OMG well let me tell you. Once we got back and sitting in the training room, a trainer came in and was talking to us (not knowing I failed and was going home or why) about just how 100% no touch they are! not 99% not 99.9% 100% comcheck baby! Soooo ya really where does that come into play? I completely understand that a company can set their own standard for hire, BUT they are heading toward a discrminatory chapter in their course here. Knight is not a mega company yet they aren't a small company. They are by many standards a good company as they have regulated their growth while staying a debt-free corporation. But please, they get goverment subsidies just like anyone else. And therefore they may have gone too far here. I agree are they going to turn away handicapped too? I wasn't the only one asking if they had a gender based test, the testing assistant couldn't understand wny there wasn't one either. She (bless her heart) I found out from the other guys, was actually worried for me before I even got to that test. Then when I began I told her I was concerned, and she told me she was too for me! I was like "wow" I'm not going to get through this am I? I moved the box down the hall 5x's. I've been driving only a year so far, but 99% drop and hook was 100% drop and hook. I never had that 1% even though I know it can happen, I don't think this test reflects that situation in the least. But at the very very least, and very important to me - as I will move forward - I want any others inquiring to know ahead of time this information I couldn't find myself. If the recruit is concerned then I want that known. It shouldn't be a humilating surprise to have to deal with. Someone after me can prepare or rethink their choice with information. If this were 3 weeks ago, I wouldn't be writing this. I would be in. Everything has a purpose these roadblocks in life, but information is what makes all of us better.

 

Thank you. I want to thank everyone for your honest input. It helps very much. I don't hate the system yet. Information communication goes a long way.

 

Right! I think this test is newly ramped up. Well I know it is because even the clinic wasnt familiar with it and was reading the set up as they went. So that is really what I want others to know, that what was is no longer. I think personally it has to do with the healthcare requirements. They seem to maybe overcompensating for one regulation in spite of another long standing one (discrimination). I'm realizing that this is not the norm - yet anyway - and am seeking places that it isn't that aren't too terrible....ya right. No, but all the replies are very helpful and I thank you all.

 

lol only when I'm passionate! And I'm passionate about being jobless today! thanks.
