Id like to know the real reason for these physicals. Its unconstitutional i feel. They say no drug test but take urine sample and DOT requires that a drug test is done to check for substance. But they say its not a drug test. Something is not right here. Tiu should be able to have your PCP do it. Not a doctor provided by state whos bot going to take your med past at face value. If they find something wribg i wnat my doctor to be present. this is another motive to document state cannabis card patients in case of insurance claims on job. State can't legalize something or put you on certain meds that might affect getting a job. Its not right. This may not be DOT motive but this needs to be looked into. No one touches me unless it's my doctor.
They test for levels in your urine I have went into a dot physical smoking everyday and they didn't test for it now now if it's for and two for one your employer if they are paying for your dot physical can ask them to drug test it as well but you can see on the paperwork you fill out if that's what's going on but if you pay for your own medical card they won't test for it
I have a DOT physical coming up hate to be blunt. I was wondering if they have to feel you're downstairs for a hernia. I don't have one but just curious?
Hey your videos are very helping I have a dot physical coming up and I had a question reguarding open heart surgery I had 30 years ago when I was a baby I still have the scar on my chest and haven’t seen any heart doctors since that time I don’t have any documents that I can find any ideas ?
Hey! Love your videos. I am in Minnesota and havea DOT Physical coming up, the company I am applying to sent me seperate emails about dot physicial and drug screening. I am doing a non dot role but they are still sending me to do a dot physical. Do you think the drug test will be at the dot phys?
@@docbradleydc update: i ended up barely passing, they ran the test twice. I did ask about getting glasses and coming back, they said it was fine and i can just do the eye exam and there were no additional costs.
Do I have to re-do my DOT physical each time I am prescribed a new medication? Particularly, I am talking about psych meds like antidepressants or stimulants.
My question is I am type two diabetic so naturally, there should be sugar in my urine, correct? If so is there a test that says maybe there’s too much or how does that work ?
I went through partial quad torn surgery. Surgery was 1/2. Got another week of wearing the straight brace. Most likely moving to the less restrictive brace. I need to renew my card by 2/6. Is there going to be a problem being accepted? The only thing I won't be able to do is bend my knee 90 degrees I believe. I can walk, bend over and have normal balance. I will be seeing a surgeon follow up next week and will ask for a note explaining to a DOT Dr.
Question.. does DOT for Texas require a drug test for the first physical. (Don’t even have a permit yet.) And are they required to watch. You pee in sample container?
Hey Doc, I’m trying to get re-certified as an FMCSA examiner (decertified because they say they did not receive my updated license in time). This happened literally a day before I was going to take my 10 recertification test. DOT has my updated license now but I can not get access to do my 10 year retest. I’ve called DOT (option 2) for every day for two months with no response… any back door suggestions?
This happened to about 50,000 examiners (including myself). You have to keep calling them. I had someone calling non-stop for 2 days and they actually did get through once. I was able to then get my issue resolved. They will not return messages or emails however.
i performed a drug test and passed 4 days ago, they are going to send me for the DOT physical in a few days. Will the blood,sugar, diseases test be able to reveal anything else?
basically will the pee test for physical release any other information besides blood, sugar, and diseases? counting in the fact i already have a current drug test from prior days before?
So in your videos you had people in their regular clothes. But I have also heard of some doctors leaving the room and having you put on a gown and checking for hernias and etc. Is that typical?
@@EasyDOTPhysicals I don't have HBP but it does spike in stress and certain foods. I already got a 2 year card it expires in next month. So if my BP between 140 -150 top number range and 99 bottom number that' will be 1 year card only?
So when you test vision, you're only having them read the 20/40 line and then just put down in the form they're vision is 20/40 if that is what they're able to see? I usually have them go as far down as they can but your way is more efficient.
We need to sample your urine to check for sugar and blood. Yeah ok...i can produce med records from my doctor. Theyre looking to document those who are using medically and recreationally. They find a way around this by saying its a medical test. So drugs are ok but sugar and blood in urinre.might affect your job performance? Pleeeeeease. Are we this dumb?
😂😂😂 why are you on this man page saying all of this. None of us care we're choosing to do this. If someone has an issue there's hundreds of other jobs. This man doesn't care he getting paid
I asked the same question basically if you have a hernia reported or if it's expected you have one. Individual Drs may choose to do so if they feel it's needed.

Thank you for your informative videos, Nuesse. Your videos couldn't be better and are much appreciated.
Glad you like them!
Is it like other physicals where you drop your drawls

😂😂😂😂😂
Your dr can if they’re qualified
They don't really do this.
It's testing blood sugar we don't want diabetics driving rigs it's dangerous

only if reported or expected. Individual Drs can chose to do this exam if they feel it is needed.
@@EasyDOTPhysicalstha k you for the quick response. Love your videos, I've been watching them all month keep up the good work!
Did they do it to you? I had an exam and she did not do it.
Absolutely not. They dont check 3 quarters of these things

Thanks! If you have to have a drug test they typically do it on the same day for convenience. Just ask😁
@@EasyDOTPhysicals Just heard back from my employer! Actually NO med card required so just a simple walk in drug test.
Call the facility and ask, not your employer. And don’t give your name
If i fail the vision exam can i come back after getting glasses or does it get reported to fmcsa and im just disqualified for failing?
That's all they really check.
You can redo an exam after you get corrective lenses. (it will cost you the price of the exam again though)
@@docbradleydc update: i ended up barely passing, they ran the test twice. I did ask about getting glasses and coming back, they said it was fine and i can just do the eye exam and there were no additional costs.
@LAAM619 good to hear. Be safe out there
What are the rules when you have Multiple sclerosis?
I wouldn't tell them that if you wanna pass but if you have a diagnosis they might not give you a CDL
Does FMCSA compare your physical with previous yrs?
Do I have to re-do my DOT physical each time I am prescribed a new medication? Particularly, I am talking about psych meds like antidepressants or stimulants.
My question is I am type two diabetic so naturally, there should be sugar in my urine, correct? If so is there a test that says maybe there’s too much or how does that work ?
Yes we will test it and if the doctor feels that there is an issue he/she might send you for further testing.
@@EasyDOTPhysicals just got back from mine , passed and good for 2 years!!! Thanks for helping me prep
I am an NP in Nevada. Where can I go to get my certification to be an examiner?
I can not bend my legs would that cause me to fail the physical ?

Specifically you may need a skill performance evaluation by the surgeon. Y=This is up to the medical examiner
If someone with chronic illness might not pass the requirements for getting a job?Even though still decent functional?Thanks in advance

Thanks for the information. If someone is legally blind from one eye does that automatically disqualify the applicant?

it's up to the doctor doing the exam

eveyrtime i go to the doctor r im looking for a fight. because doctors assume a power position . for me the show is over then.
So it’s not like a new football physical? To where they feel under a guys testicles. Idc if they do but I like to be a little prepared for that lol.
I asked the same question basically if you have a hernia reported or if it's expected you have one. Individual Drs may choose to do so if they feel it's needed.
