CDL Physical Question - High BMI
Howdy all,
I'm interested in getting my Class A CDL, and becoming a truck driver. I had a Mississippi Class A until 2008, but moved to Texas and gave it up. My question is... How stringent is the neck size / BMI thing?
I'm a big guy. Currently 6'4", and 365 lbs... I had gastric sleeve surgery in late August, and have lost 64 lbs since surgery, and AM going to lose a lot more... BUT... Right now, my BMI is @ 44... Well over 35!
IF there is literally no chance of me passing the physical, then there is no sense in me taking the test...
Please advise.
I know there are a LOT of BIG truckers; but they may have been smaller when they got their licenses, and are sort of "grandfathered" in?
Thanks in advance !

CDL Physical Question - High BMI
Thank you, G-Town. I didn't really figure there was such a thing as being grandfathered in with the DOT... Otherwise, there would be great grandfathers, 90 years old and barely able to walk, much less drive a big rig, doing so!
