They’ll ask for medical history and stuff like that. Just be honest about it. If you try to hide it, and they find out it’s going to cause a bigger #### storm. I think you’ll be alright though.

 

I go to a chiropractor for my DOT physical. They can’t look up your past med history. If it’s a chiropractor ur golden.

 

Just leave those details off the medical questionnaire and you'll be fine. Change to "I had an accident" if asked to explain.

 

"Many years ago I did something stupid, got high, and overdosed. I went into a coma."

No trucking company will hire you if they know about this.

 

Depending on the questions that are asked on the form, maybe you are, maybe not.
Some questions may be;
have you ever been admitted to a hospital?
have you ever had surgery?
have you ever sought psychiatric/neurological help?
If you answer ‘Yes’ there more than likely will be follow up questions.
Some may have a timeframe, ‘within the 5 years’ ‘within the 10 years’ ‘ever’ just be 100% truthful, with the exception of the question; ‘do you snore’? Never, ever, ever, in your life do you answer ‘Yes’ to that question! If you do, you are 99.44% ensured you will be in a world of hurt.
