Is this TRUE about The D.O.T. Medical Card ?

Better Question-
Why does it seem lately Everyones on Blood pressure meds?

Get Physicaly active- Easy on the smoking- Quit eating MAYONNAISE-

Seems like 1 out of 2 drivers takes BP pills-Has type2 or needs daily pills to control their depression and anxiety, Anyway

As long as a driver gets 120 over 80 or less- Good to go no matter what he takes

 

Hey now don't be hatin on the Mayonnaise... If the truck catches on fire you gotta always have Mayonnaise... On another note during the summer I would go walking at rest areas and truck stops... I would get the dirtiest looks, but I lost like 30 lbs in 3 months by doing that...

 

I eat mayo fused with avocado oil. Not only is it tasty, it is good for you. Nutrionist said it was and since I switched from regular mayo my cholestrol numbers are on target.

 

We have a much greater resource than Alexandrea of Egypt when it comes to a simple question like being qualified on BP Medicine. Combined with another related to the hard DOT limit of 140-90 and so on.

Instead of another 10,000 letter post from me I offer you this. A search of the entire FMCSA data base related to DOT medical = Blood Pressure.

Walking is a great way to lose weight. If you combine it with other methods it really shines. You need to walk a couple times a day or at lest one good long walk. Even if said long consists of just circling the truck stop a buncha times. Rest areas abound with room to walk. Some have a little trail, some don't.

Add in the weights you can use while walking. Makes it an even bigger win.

Or you can jog, run, whatever you like doing. Long as your moving...it doesn't really matter in my mind. I don't like running. So I walk.

Anyhow..end my walking sermon.

Sirscrapntruckalot - Holla!

 

Bowling would be the one walking exercise that is fun. Especially if you have a pre-computer set of lanes downtown where you have to actively use your mind to participate in the game.

Reminder never throw that 16 ball if you aint got the horses or bones for it.

 

I heard something about guidelines being changed recently. Is this true or has 140 for the top # always been the case. I’m due now and worried. Barely passed last time. Something new to me always had perfect BP. I’ve heard drug companies pushed the lower recommendations as standard and now DOT standards have been changed also. Is this true?

 

And it is all due to the SAD; Standard American Diet.

 

Last thing I heard. They were going to lower it. Don't know what became of it.
