What can I do ?

There aren't any lifting requirements.

What is insurance for?

 

The company you work for may have a physical lifting requirement. If the company sent you to see a doctor then it was their doctor, not yours representing their interests, not yours. It stands to reason that the company doctor would be very concerned about a situation where you might become a long term disability claim for the next 30-35 years.

That doctor only represents himself and his own opinion. There are thousands and thousands of doctors you can visit and many different companies you can apply to who may not have a weight lifting requirement.

 

looks like you have to start all over again..schooling, training, testing, seeking employment.

some companies have a stress test/agility sort of requirement, but many more do not.

good luck to you.

 

That doctor is full of BS.
Did the DMV actually downgrade your cdl or do you still have it?
I'd never mention the surgery again.
Were you a truck driver when you were injured?

 

There are lifting requirements. I had to go through the crate test with dumbbells and sandbags but its not used for lifting, its used for heart rate so the DR is a BS

 

First of all, you should be able to self certify intrastate and keep the CDL without a physical. If this is a company physical and the company has added these requirements there is nothing you can do about this physical. You did not get that card. What I suggest is paying for your own physical for now. Make sure you tell the examiner about that first physical. This is CRITICAL! You should get at least a one-year physical!

 

Just to let you know, I have tagging notifications off in my profile. That won't notify me. I am here because I just have seen the thread.
