Had a question on Dot physical if I will be able to pass it. My diagnosis was perimesecephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (CMS/HCC) cerebral vasospasm occurred in feb 2022 was in the icu for 7 days( no surgery) Current taking nifedipine 30mg and Amitriptyline. My blood pressure currently is normal and I have no neurological deficits and no restrictions from a neurological standpoint. Only restriction was no driving for 6 months which will end Aug 17th 2022.I’m on currently on disability now. My dot will expire in couple of weeks. Other than that I have no other health issues. Will I be denied my dot physical Medical card. I’m extremely nervous and as for all commercial driver this is our livelihood.
I have a Class B that is set to expire in November. I've had 2 heart attacks (2017 and 2018 due to artery dissections). I have high blood pressure and FMD (Fibromuscular Dysplasia in my carotid arteries). I also have Osteoarthritis and I've had several surgeries because of it and have another coming in November. I am on medicine for my heart and high blood and on pain meds. Can I renew my CDL? I was a bus driver but haven't been at work since my first heart attack. Would it be a safe bet to just let the CDL expire and retire?
Those medical conditions would make passing the DOT physical more difficult but not impossible. It would be completely up to the medical examiner on if he/she felt it was safe for you to drive. Good luck!
My certificate expires in a month but if I go in tomorrow and can't pass the vision part of the physical is my certificate still valid for that month while I go to my optometrist to get it taken care of?
Doctor where you located I can pass all those test I have a CDL class A but only in Florida I have a lazy eye I need to drive all over USA I’m not making money at here what I need to do I need your help any surgery or meds do they make some very strong glasses just enough for me to see those letters I have clean driving record I can see with both of my eyes open better then a 20 year old healthy I fly or drive where ever you at thank you doctor I hope to hear from you
should I get drug screened before I go to the dot test or should I use a quality pee cup before the dot? , if I come out clean off a pee cup test will I pass a dot exam for class b? I'm in California
if you can't pass the drug test you can't qualify for a CDL. If your employer doesn't require a CDl or their own drug testing I don't know how they would find out
I could never understand the blood pressure thing… there’s more idiots out there in smaller vehicles with high blood pressure who almost always contribute to a vehicle accident. Not always on the truck driver but there’s some it happens
Can you do a video on prescriptions for chronic pain and other prescriptions for ADD etc... Also, do non CDL hot shot drivers have a different set of requirements than those with CDL A license?
If you are in a one ton you can easily be over 26000 pounds and require a class A license. Depends on gvwr of trailer and truck added together if it's over 26000 you need a cdl.
Good information 👍 thanks
Welcome
Too many regulations!!!
And we wonder why there's a huge driver shortage??!!
What if you do vaping as opposed to smoking??

Nevermind I got it from your BP vid, thx
glad you found it!
what is considered "high" blood pressure? I've noticed lately i'm around 129/88. 55YO Male
what is correctly, i was told 70% of the time of at least 4.5 hours a day, are there any other parameters that have to be met?
It is actually 4 hours, not 4.5 per day. I have a video on this channel with all the details on sleep apnea if you search for it.

if you can not pass the vision component then you would be disqualified from the date of your exam.
@@EasyDOTPhysicals Is there a wait time between exams before I can retake it?
no there is not
Are medical records ordered by the examiner?
Not generally

This guy is great.
Well thanks!
should I get drug screened before I go to the dot test or should I use a quality pee cup before the dot? , if I come out clean off a pee cup test will I pass a dot exam for class b? I'm in California
The testing methods could be different so a pre-test will not guarantee you can pas the DOT test
what happens if you fail the drug test does that cause problems when getting a job for the 1st time if I don't have a cdl yet?
if you can't pass the drug test you can't qualify for a CDL. If your employer doesn't require a CDl or their own drug testing I don't know how they would find out
@@EasyDOTPhysicals would it stay on or show on my record for the dot if I fail the drug test there?
I could never understand the blood pressure thing… there’s more idiots out there in smaller vehicles with high blood pressure who almost always contribute to a vehicle accident. Not always on the truck driver but there’s some it happens
thanks for the feedback
Can you do a video on prescriptions for chronic pain and other prescriptions for ADD etc...
Also, do non CDL hot shot drivers have a different set of requirements than those with CDL A license?
Non CDL example: 1 Ton (Ford F350) and a 30-40ft flat bed trailer.
I have video on prescription drugs
If you are in a one ton you can easily be over 26000 pounds and require a class A license. Depends on gvwr of trailer and truck added together if it's over 26000 you need a cdl.
Would Crohn’s disease & have diabetes’s disqualify me of being a trucker
not an automatic disqualification on either. please watch my videos on diabetes for the particulars on that.
