made it 5 hrs at TMC

The problem is that you have now failed a dot physical and must advise any potential employers.

good luck.. but when I take one I never admit to anything...

 

I disagree with the above posting. You did not fail a DOT physical, you failed a company physical. But I do agree with never telling anyone anything.

If you have access to a long form for a DOT physical nowhere on there is Wearing an Ace Bandage listed as something to be checked or not checked.

Of course sometimes as a well endowed male, they think they are checking my leg when in fact they are not.

 

I'm not so sure about that. I've never heard anyone say they were asked if they ever failed a physical


They didn't like his ace bandage..... He passed the dot and failed the company physical ......

 

He may have been able to pass a DOT Physical.. if there was a company component and the driver failed to meet those standards.. then they do not have to continue in the process of hiring said driver.. many places have more restrictive or more in depth requirements than JUST what is contained in the DOT physical.

 

Maybe so.. but working where I do and seeing what I have seen.. companies have to err on the side of EXTREME caution! They also hold no ill will, you tried, you failed to meet their standards and at least you have a realistic attitude. I wish you well in your endeavors... but don't wear that ace at the next one...

 

Sorry you failed your physical,a guy failed the physical for the company ill be driving for today also.This will probably be on your dac but maybe not.You'll find a job only next time leave the bandage off since you can do anything anybody else and do.Then once physical is done put the ace back on.

 

You should still have a medical card from CDL school. Hope you didn't let TMC keep it. Some companies accept a medical card if there's some time left on it. Paschall Truck Lines accepts a current medical card unless their policy has changed recently. If asked about TMC, say you decided you don't want to be in the military.
