    The most recent form the FMCSA has the examiners using asks if you have EVER had any surgeries, have Ever had a broken bones etc. Way more info than before or that is necessary. While you can be evasive, I wouldn't straight out lie.

    A few broke bones in high school. Just because I'm older doesn't mean I need all those test. I think they are just after money.

    Well I guess if your 51 high school was more than 15 years ago, but...

    I'm wondering if you took a physical agility test with a prospective employer and had some difficulties.

    Unless this is the employer specified examiner, I'd run like hell.

    As long as it doesn't affect you now and no medications I would answer as little as possible.
