Should have done what I did I went to a brand spanking new walk in clinic and they had never done a dot physical before. They just asked me what they were suppose to do. I had to walk them step by step on everything. I guess I could've cheated but I'm pretty healthy for the most part.

Well... technically that's against the regs. The docs are supposed to be "familiar" with the regs and requirements of the DOT. Anyway... that will all change in 2014 when they have to be on the "registry." Thing was.... this clinic does hundreds of DOT physicals for dozens of FedEx locations in the area. It never crossed my mind they wouldn't know what they were doing!

Hobo I was surprised too when 371 didn't want my long form. They just wanted a copy of my card.

Well... after getting the letter (and being aware of the CDLIS rulemaking) I wasn't really surprised. But, I sure didn't want to give the DMV a copy of that 3-month physical! You know how THEY are. Somewhere down the road.... when someone checked.... they would probably have never updated their files and I'd be OOS.
Where is 371? I know it's not Memphis... but, I can't remember the number for Nashville. Didn't know TN had another full size hub. [You did say TN somewhere, didn't you?]

I also think you got ripped off I paid $55 for my physical. I am with you though on my procrastination. My physical was due on the 17th so I got it done on the 17th.

Well, I only paid $57 at the walk-in clinic. My "personal doctor" charged WAY more than I had ever paid for a physical or any kind of visit to him before. Course... I hadn't been to him since 2006. I was kinda shocked at the charge.... but, too glad to have gotten the 2-yr to really care. Couple hundred total for 2 more years of this kind of money ain't nuthin!
But, if I had made an app't with my VA doctor a few months before my original due date.... my co-pay would have been about $15-35. Well, I've got two years to start planning for the next one! I'm sure I won't let it sneak up on me again (not...)
