    You’re near Cookville or Crossville aren’t you? Saw the pile up in Jackson. Headed south tonight. Looks like I’ll miss all the chaos.

    Last year they required a stress test. (Every 2 yrs.) for my DOT exam. I ended up getting a cath, after an unclear stress test. So that Trumped the stress test. Had a letter from Cardiologist. Got my 1 yr. No problem. I’m wondering if I need anything more than a letter this time. Already gave the the refraction results after the event. Then it was a required stress test last year. Any ideas? I can’t remember what all I’ve read. Going to revisit the regs. Just thought I’d ask, in case I miss something this time. Last year I put my CDL in exempt status, while waiting for the cath procedure. Afterwards I find out all cards were extended till March. Lol. Like to avoid any surprises this time. It’s due 1-19

    I don't think that CAD by itself is disqualifying, but I would make sure before I took a physical to have that stated by your heart doc before the physical.

    A stress test with good results including a good refractory rate is required after a Heart attack, to get reinstated, and then every 2 yrs. thereafter. The Cath was supposed to better than the stress test itself, according to my Dr. Apparently it was. The results of the cath were good. The echo wasn’t clear. Possibly blocked stent and another blocked artery. Cath showed no blockages. Supposedly the Cath is a more thorough test. Results and a letter got me a 1 yr. I think I just need a letter this time.

    I asked The OM what we should do for breakfast.

    The OM is like," How about BACON and fried potatoes."

    . That might qualify as a rhetorical question.

    The fuel burner is hooked into the system via the bunk heater coolant lines. So it heats the bunk and circulates to engine by that system. Uses the bunks fans for air circulation.
