FAILED ! (but passed)


My companies have stricter requirements than the DOT, so I passed but now I need to satisfy my companies before I can start driving.


I can still hear the whisper, I still have 20/30 vision ... the new cheaters I bought did not help on the test and I couldn't tell the difference when I got them. Oh well, now I have another spare.


And I was still able to do all the bends, twists and turns required so overall it was an easy test.


My frustration, and that is likely part of the issue, is that I tried to get this taken ahead of time and my Dr doesn't want to change anything unless I fail. Now I have failed ... and am waiting on an answer back.


I even tried a few tricks that are supposed to help. Warm bath (shower,) lots of liquid (for me,) limited my computer and sitting time. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs, my weight is down, I don't eat junk food. I had thought of getting a message ... but I thought of it at 2 AM so I hadn't planned ahead.


So I am likely off work for another week or so. If it drags on too long I will just file what I have with the DOT to stay legal.


The rental dispatcher did have another half dozen local trucks but BB is not interested in driving them. Yet. Nothing interesting today on the RV side.
