Ty I’ma dead trying I miss driving so much driving is the most relaxing thing for me why I miss most is seeing different cities 🙏🏾👍🏾
Now that’s a real mess. I’m sorry to hear you’re having such issues and hopefully you’ll be able to track down a doctor soon.
No in a motorcycle The car made a left turn and he did not see me going straight 🙏🏾I’m alive lol and ready to drive again lol
Was your injury from an accident in a private vehicle or in the truck you were employed to drive? Perhaps you don't need a doctor to help you as much as a lawyer.

Hay, Omar . . . this may be redundant, but when I called the Southern Service Center (404#) it seems like it offers options for physicians in your area... ?!?!?
Hope you work this out; be safe on those doggone bikes! (My daughter rides; in my photos...LoL.)

If that doesn't work out for you, I want you to go online, and check out "Dr John's Medical Solutions". He is THE trucker's doctor, and one of only a handful that I trust implicitly.
His number is 865-888-5025.
Ok ty so much

I have a silly question for you. If the only doctor you found in your region to fill out your paperwork is in Georgia, why can't you have them fill it out.... Yes, I understand you live in Florida, but a licensed doctor on the DOT registry to give physicals can give you a physical... Even if it is a specialist because of your arm, it shouldn't matter
For example, I live in CT, worked for a company out of NE, and had a physical done at their Indianapolis, IN and their Allentown, PA terminals, as well as one in Georgia.....
I was just curious, thats all
The loss of use is why the SPE certificate is required. He won’t be able to pass a DOT physical without that paperwork. I still think he needs to call the regional representative because they may have a list of doctors who will fill out the proper paperwork, rather than just call around and hope for the best.
I understand that the loss of use of his arm is why he needs an spe.... My question was why can't he use the doctor in GA if they also do DOT physicals????
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
Because the vast majority of doctors who do DOT physicals don’t meet the requirements for signing off on the paperwork. Generally it’s an orthopedic surgeon.
