Current DOT Card And Failing A DOT Physical
Topic 6083 | Page 1
I just went through orientation at JB Hunt and a couple of guys failed the DOT physical for one reason or another. I was wondering if their current DOT medical cards are still valid?
I just went to Conway. I used to be in great shape and now not so much so my heart was hating me and I failed the agility scam which sent me home and yet 400 lb behemoths all passed. The DOT physical I passed with flying colors. Did these guys say what failed them? Must have been blood pressure or sugar. But I asked what becomes of my last dot physical card and she said its still valid and that I won't be getting my new physical card that I took with the company.
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.
I didn't even get a chance to talk to them cause they went over with a different group (27 people in orientation). We had to do the agility test also, which was cake for me. Hopefully you can fix what you need to in order to pass.
The last Dot physical card is the most valid. If you received a new one at anytime or you were denied a medical card that will cover up and over ride the one at your last company.
