Profile For Ron G.

Thanks for your replies.

Yes Kori, I talked to a Prime recruiter a month or two ago but she was kind of vague with her answers. Although I was probably more vague with my questions. Previously, I started to fill out an application but did not submit it and she (Andrea Mueller) called me the next day to see why I didn't finish.

And Errol, I have no pain and I'm not on any meds, I'm just concerned with not being able to get doctors to clear past injuries. I've got full range of motion. I'm just paranoid about being that guy being sent home.

I've spent a lot of time reading the awesome information here while trying to calm my anxiety over leaving a rather well paying job for trucking. Specifically, being sent home from orientation is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger.

By the way, I'm 57, excellent health, long work history, no legal issues, decent driving record and no drugs. But, I have been involved with martial arts for decades and have had my share of injuries (broken bones, shoulder, neck and back injuries). Some were so long ago I don't even remember the doctors names.

My questions are, for those who have had similar health issues, how did you address this with companies that use their own doctors and how much documentation do they require to pass the DOT physical?
