The hypocrisy of a DOT Physical in full display

A treadmill in every truck stop...

 

Bent driver side door brackets had to be replaced at my previous company because of the way the Two Ton Tonys were hoisting themselves into the cab.

 

You can sure tell who doesn't unload their wagon, there weren't too many overweight drivers that had peddle runs. It's amazing what the human body can endure, there was a guy where I had my truck leased to, TWICE this size, he drove a cabover Mack, and you could tell it was him, by the cab leaning. He would get lumpers, never lifted a finger on the truck, and I never saw anyone sweat while they were eating. I'm not sure how someone like this could possibly pass a DOT exam, BP alone must be through the roof. The old lady probably works at the clinic,,

 

He's a Jelly Bear. The lot lizards tuck themselves between his creases on cold winter nights.

 

The Dogs facial expression was golden....couldn't have said it better myself.. I'm not sure how they legitimately pass a DOT with their weight being so high but I do know they could probably fast for a year or more and be ok and that's no joke..

 

These dumb dix would use it to hang there wet clothes on that they just rinsed in the sink.

 

Years ago, I drove for one of the big name LTL companies, they had a driver from one of the Indiana yards, who was so large they needed special order a driver seat to handle the weight, and alter the gear shift so he could drive.

 

Something tells me these trucks see a lot of seat, grab handle and steering column replacements…. I can’t imagine being that big or how you would get there without going holy #### I gotta lose some weight.
At least they’re working and not on disability

 

IMO medical cards should not be issued for any longer than 1 year. Truck/trailer inspections 6 months.
