Truck driving physical?

Question

Can you pass a DOT physical if you are pregnant?

Answer 1

Up to 7 months easy , possibly all the way to nine months. You only have to be able to get on your hands and knees and inspect the brakes . I've seen women that can , some can't , it's up to the individual. My Doctors test makes you step up and down a step stool quickly for 2 minutes then checks your pulse. That's about the hardest part in Ontario ,Canada.

Answer 2

Yes, you probably can, but the doctor will probably make recommendations for modified duties as you enter the third trimester.  

The driving physical simply measures if you are fit enough to do the job and checks for underlying conditions that could affect your driving.  Things like high blood pressure, epilepsy, or physical limitations.

Answer 3

Yes, you can pass the D.O.T. physical if you are pregnant.

The examination consists of checking your blood pressure, eyes, hearing, urine (drug test), and things like that. So there is no reason why you shouldn't pass the examination. (smile)

I recently turned my truck in last January. Be safe out there!
