BP First Day?
Topic 13551 | Page 1
I think you'll find most companies do different things. At CRST you focus on getting your permit and the DOT physical comes in later in the week. But again I'm sure other companies have different schedules. Clear as mud right?
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.
Also some of the folks that had marginally high or low blood pressure were not absolutely out once they were tested. If it were somewhat high or low they would let them retest later that day or the following. They seemed to understand that early morning or nerves or lack of food played a part in everyones blood pressure and were relatively cool about it.

Hello. If you have passed your DOT physical, do they take your BP the first day of trucking school? I read different scenarios on here. Thanks

The more you worry about it, the higher your blood pressure is going to be!

Most companies are going to want to get you through the physical and drug screen on the first or second day.
No sense "investing time" on a new applicant - if they can't medically qualify anyway.
