DOT Physical
Topic 15030 | Page 1
Once you get a medical release from your doctor you should be good if a question ever comes up again
The Form that Roehl is wanting my doctor to fill out reads like an orientation pre-test. Example : Can he move freight weighing 75lbs floor level to shoulder level to a distance of more than 53 feet ? Etc Etc Etc. How is my doctor going to know these answers and sign stating I can ?

I am a little worried. I answered questions on my long form stating i had a blood clot 5 years ago ruled an anomaly and treated with medicine and also had unexplained weight loss with gallbladder removed. I didn't think it was a big deal to list. Now Roehl is requiring my doctor to fill out a release to work form ?? They never diagnosed me with anything and I am fully recovered from whatever it was more than a year ago.I wish now I had not listed on long form of my DOT physical card. My question is am I gonna get this every time I apply for a truck job ?
