Thanks

Went today and took my dot physical. Had no problem getting it so will be going in about 2 weeks to get my permit.

I have talked to two different companies that offer training and they said as long as I pass my dot physical they will not have a problem. I also found out that my Dr that I see also gives the dot physical so I shouldn't have any problems. Planning on going next week to get that done.

Ok thanks I plan on going to get the dot physical and if no issue with that then permit and on to trucking school

Hello I am interested in becoming a truck driver. I have limited use of my left hand. I can drive with it but cannot hold or use small things such as pencils or write with it. Now many years ago I did have a CDL class c and had my dot card. I drove a 24 ft flatbed truck for a building supply company. I did that for about 5 years. I currently work in construction now and I lift and carry things around a 100#s all day. My plan is to get my dot card and class A permit then head to trucking school. I am worried if I show up at a school and getting turned away. Would like to hear advice or opinions from some truck drivers.
