I don't know..just don't do it.
It's a bad idea.jmh313jmh Thanks this. -
If you get caught, the feds will burn you.
Your boss will deny knowing you were disqualified.
Get your blood pressure under control and change companies.ncmickey, jmh313jmh, GenericUserName and 1 other person Thank this. -
Tell him to stick it, it isn't worth your cdl. Get rechecked, you should have gotten a 30 day but it depends where you went to get the dot done.
I've been going in circles with Concentra and my sleep apnea - the PA didn't want to sign off on the card for a year because I didn't have a complete data set from my machine even though my sleep doc told him I use the machine all the time so I have a 90 coming up this week.jmh313jmh Thanks this. -
Don't drive if you don't have a valid medical card. Are you currently on blood pressure medications? Go to your family practice Dr. And get medication if not already on meds. Some drivers claim that Viagra will lower blood pressure but I would not know about that.
jmh313jmh and Milkman719 Thank this. -
If you have a choice of doctors to use, NEVER go to Concentra!!!!!!!

As for viagra, it depends on the person but it does some cardiac patients well. -
lol ... thats wher i went concentra, it cost me 75 dollars & i left without the ability to support my family, im the only source of income & i need to work .... another question .... can i collect unemployment while not working due to this & thanks again for the fast response this is my first day on this site & its been very helpful
Chinatown Thanks this. -
No boss or job is worth running illegally. If you do it now, he will expect it again and again. And it will get harder to turn him down. Doesn't sound like he respects you much.
jmh313jmh Thanks this. -
Look for another Clinic, I know there are plenty of Doc's in a box, that will give you a DOT Physical card in Detroit!
jmh313jmh Thanks this.
