well you need a clearance letter from a qualified doctor. most companies make you wait 90 days till you can come back some as little as 30 days depends on the outfit.

so get a referral to a renal doctor. or see if you can get a walk in. you cannot be too safe when it comes to your kidneys, if that is the problem you will have a hard time getting into the business

You should see your family doctor and tell him/her about the results of your physical. It may be nothing or nothing more than a minor kidney infection, but it could be the sign of something more serious starting.

Until you have this looked into and get signed off by your primary physician you will not be able to drive. The company doctor's will fail you on a physical for this.

Default what is so crazy about this

I passed all my written test. seeing my exam I think I would pass with flying colors, know turning in my exam with paper work they stick a wall infront. I talk to my doc to see whats up. crazy DMV dont tell you to take DOT exam first since that form is free, had paid 60 or so to get the permit. and after you turn in your DOT exam, THEY SAY WE CANN'T get you permit. and no refund crazy.
