Here's the problem Brett. If they want to go through what appears to look like a movie script for Atlas Shrugged Parts 1 & 2 that are my medical records, fine. When they DON'T hire me BASED SOLELY ON WHAT THEY SAW IN MY MEDICAL RECORDS, they better have a GOOD EXCUSE, and NOT, "Well your medical record is awfully THICK. You must have a serious medical condition." And the truth is they never looked at it, or "It says here you suffer from vertigo," when they test for it at the D.O.T. physical.

Hey everybody! Thanks to all for reading and weighing in on this important topic. After thinking about my experience in trying for the new job, as well Brett's response, I have to agree. The company can ask for whatever records they want to ask for, and it's my decision whether or not to provide them. In my case, the new company didn't feel comfortable putting me in one of their rigs without a detailed history from my doctor regarding the medication I take. That's their right. I just felt that the multiple medical releases I had provided should be enough. That's where we disagreed. Brett, I appreciate your perspective. Thanks for taking the time to address issues here for new and experienced drivers alike.
