    A new physical might work but there is a record of the original physical that could rear its head. (MEC is Medical Examiner Certificate, ME is Medical Examiner)

    the MEC information would be electronically transmitted from the ME to the National Registry system by close of business on the day of the examination. FMCSA would then promptly transmit the information from the National Registry system to the SDLAs electronically for entry into the appropriate CDLIS driver record. The MEC information would be posted to the driver's record, by the SDLA, within one business day of receiving the information from FMCSA.

    Find something else to do besides driving a truck.
    One little anxious episode and you could kill your self or some one else. Anxious people don't make good truckers. What happens if you get 'anxious' at a really inconvenient time and cause fatalities?
