D.O.T. question
I was asked this several times and i am wondering about it.
When i was calling about some driving jobs, i was asked to produce D.O.T.? i asked what they meant about D.O.T., they said D.O.T.? Then i asked if they meant D.O.T. Long Form or the D.O.T. Short Form Physical, they said again, D.O.T.? What the hell is a D.O.T.? do company drivers need to contact the D.O.T. for what? I am clueless when someone says D.O.T.

Never ran into that one myself.
The only thing I can possibly think of would be a 10 year work history and a Long form physical. IMHO if the "company" can not explain what it is wanting then it is probably so screwed up you would want to work there anyway.

Only thing I can guess is your DOT Physical. They want a copy of your CDL??

I appreciate the replies on this matter.
I had a feeling they were asking for my D.O.T. Long Form Physical. It sounded really strange that they would ask for D.O.T. and not specify what they were wanting.
