I have the exemption I need from FMCSA and had a Class B Permit with P endorsement but couldn't get hired at the places I wanted so now I'm going for a Class A with all endorsements, I'll have to seek altenate options for P, through a local CDL school. Hopefully by the end of the 2023 I'll be driving.

Paying for first DOT Physical and Written Exam
I'm looking to find out if there's options to get help paying for the physical and written test when we first begin, other than going through trucking school. I also wonder if the hearing test has a directionality component as I hear nothing on my left side and both my aids send everything to the right; hence everything sounds like it comes from the right. As I'll be looking to drive intrastate for a local bus company I have no reason to go through trucking school. The company will train me and pay for me to take my road test but I need my permit to get started. Given that I'm 99% sure they'll require me to have a DOT Card, and not knowing how things will go with my epilepsy, I figure I may as well do both ahead of time. I realize this is more CDL related than Trucking related but I welcome whatever help and advice this great community has for me.
