RBK Amputee with new CDL License

Wow, thats some ####, man.

I can somewhat understand you needing the med waiver but taking the test again?

Who did you call for that info? Maybe its wrong?

If not maybe you went to a school that will let you retest.

Good luck and post what happens/ find out to help others 7n the future.

 

I can only assume it's because the FMCSA wants to ensure you did not get a license before you had the leg amputated

 

I told you the most likely reason

 

And whats the big deal with a road test? You have to take one at every company you go to. You're already crying at something being unfair, not making sense, get used to it jack, that is trucking

 

Had a friend of mine that didn't take care of himself. Wound up in the hospital because his diabetes was out of whack. Had to get on the shots, and that knocked him out of a truck. I told him to do his homework. He wanted a pity party, but I told him there was a way around it. He did some investigating and found out about a waiver. So, he sent in an application, filled out some forms, sent in a bunch of letters from a doctor (I dont know if it was his doctor or one of their 'approved' doctors), didn't dot an I and forgot to cross a T and had to redo everything. Well, he got the waiver. And it got him back in a bigrig. HOWEVER, there are a different set of rules that he must abide by. Unfair? The unfair part is he has to prove himself to a committee of ninnies and housewives who cant drive, live utterly pathetic lives, but feel that drivers are the worst evil on the highways. And he is under the microscope. I believe that he told me that he even has to keep a log of his sugar level every morning, 1 hour before he departs.

But those are the rules...

You want to drive, amigo? A roadtest is holding you back. Take the roadtest. You passed it once, I am certain you will pass it again. Take that test. Pass that test. You've had tougher challenges. Look at them with contempt. Destroy all obstacles. Come back here and tell me that you got what you were aiming for, and I will call you WINNER and the Brethern shall raise their next adult beverage in your honor.

 

Hey how's everyone doing I'm a amputte. I took my road test and everything I been driving for 4yrs. Now I'm waiting on my waiver, can anyone here give a little knowledge on how long a waiver takes to get back to you. Please and thank you

 

I've been trying to get a cdl for the past few years,today i went in for a dot physical and the doc refuse to do it because i only have one arm. I was told that i have to go get a skills performance exam and the sad part is that no one in my city would give me one not even a physical therapist They claim to not know what it is, i was wondering was the functional capacity exam is considered the same thing. Its really hard to get a job being able disabled. I finally found something that i know for a fact that i can do but the doc in my area are refusing to help me. Can anyone in this forum give me any suggestions or can please give me to i formation that i need? My name is sam...PM me if you can help...thanks
