    Hello.
    I know a defibrillator that's on will disqualify you from getting an interstate CDL. BUT can I get my cardiologist to turn off my defibrillator to qualify me getting my CDL?

    Can it be connected to the truck ECM?
    In a symbiotic relation between MAN and MACHINE.
    Were neither can live without the other.
    TuSimple may want to hear from you.
    Or Elon Musk, perhaps.
    It could be the future in trucking.

    Ask your cardiologist.

    I’m sure they won’t have any problem putting their career on the line :)

    @thunderfan73129 .....Just for fun I asked my cardiologist about this today. He's not known for his sense of humor and asked me if you were serious. I told him you were.
    He asked if you were a friend of mine. When I told him you weren't he just said "good" and walked off.
    Besides being in a perpetual bad mood he doesn't talk much but I got the message.
    So should you.
