So I went to a trucking school and they sent me home due to me only being able to lift my right arm to about 65 DEGREES. they said I need SPE . I have the paperwork but was wondering if anyone has gone through something like this, and if so please advise as far as what to expect.

Back in 2008 I was racing motorcycles at the track and had a nasty crash, needless to say, 11 shoulder replacement surgeries later I have now lost my rotator cuff , And with out a rotator cuff you cant lift your arm past 50 to 60 degrees in front or side of you. I already drive stick shift with no problem and I can reach the emergency knobs. I can pick heavy stuff up to my chest with no problem too. Other than going above a certain pont with the arm, everything else I can do with no problem.

To be honest I've never dealt with having to get an SPE and I don't even know for sure who you would have to contact or anything. I don't know the first thing about the process I'm afraid.
