Hi I have a question for ya. I have a Lazy eye. I was thinking in becoming a truck driver. There is no way correcting my eye. Lazar surgery nor Eye glasses wont work. Pretty much I'm stuck with a lazy eye. I have good eye that i see with. Had my driver license for over 13 yrs. So i guess what im asking can a get a job with a truck company with a lazy eye?

Since you have to pass the vision test with both eyes, I DOUBT YOU CAN PASS THE dot physical. I HAVE AN ODD EYE, AND TO PASS, i have to go to my eye doc and have him fill out the eye part.

They require you to have 20/40 vision in each eye, and that can include lenses or glasses. They would do your standard eye test one eye at a time. If you can cover one eye and see 20/40 with the other I would think you'd be fine to drive.

You can call any doctor or hospital that gives DOT physicals for advice. You can also actually get a DOT physical if you wanted to be absolutely certain. They're short and inexpensive.
