Profile For Don C.

What is meant by the term "running on recaps"? I am sure it's not retread tires. I know it refers to HOS, but exactly what?

I went to have my CDL physical last week. The Nurse Practitioner would not pass me due to new regulations beginning. She wanted me to have a stress test completed by my cardiologist. I had a mild heart attack 2 years ago, so now my BP is controlled by medication. Anyhow, my gripe is that if my cardiologist thought I should have a stress test, then he would have scheduled one. So the new regulations are preventing me from attending CDL training because no physical, no CDL permit. I don't have the $2000 to $2500 to hand out for a stress test. Feeling more than bummed here.

Thanks Tim Y, very good information. My BP is controlled by medication. I guess I do need to find a Dr. that will waive the need for a stress test. I would be ok with the 1 year card, because I know that is sort of a norm for BP patients and especially since I had a mild heart attack. I will search other doctors and hopefully and get the stress test waived. Again, thanks Tim Y.

So, I applied online to Millis and emailed all the required information. I was approved to start MTI in Trenton on 9MAY. Great, can't wait. Ok been studying for my Indiana CDL permit. I held an Indiana CDL permit in 2013, but never did anything with it. I make an appointment to get my CDL physical completed prior to going to the BMV. The nurse practitioner tells me that since I had a heart attack 2 years ago, that I have to have stress test done by my cardiologist before she will give me my medical card. I do not have the $2500.00 for the stress test, so I guess I am not going to Millis, nor am I going to ever going to hold a CDL or drive a truck.

Anybody on here have, or know of any options to my conundrum?
