    Got to have another DOT Tuesday. Just had one in June. If I don’t list health issues I listed on the DOT physical would anyone be able to see difference in the 2 DOT physicals?

    I don’t have anything that would affect my driving but it’s just embarrassing stuff. So if I didn’t list it would it hurt me?

    @HKAK
    I wouldn't list it then, if it's embarrassing.
    If you do get caught, just say you were trying to avoid discussing it.
    That's what I would do.

    no. The second you get a new DOT for a company the prior one becomes nothing but fire starter. So to answer you no, they wont know. They dont care about a wart on your ### that was removed 15 years ago. just stuff you or your company or the dr could be liable for down the road.

    Medical Examiners do not send the medical long form to the FMCSA after the physical. They send in a different form that basically says you are certified, time before it expires, and the date of the exam. This is what they send in! MCSA-5850.

    Don't lie on the form, if the problem you have is on the form, check it off. The examiner has the right to ask your PCP about any treatment plan for any problems you have and will ask them if there is anything else they need to know.
