Medical Conditions

  • Sleep Apnea

    If you use CPAP, the DOT will require a report from your CPAP machine documenting usage greater than 4 hours/night for at least 70% of all nights.

    Please bring the name and phone number of the company that you rent your CPAP machine from. We will call them and obtain the report.

  • History of High Blood Pressure

    If you have a known history of high blood pressure, the DOT requires a blood pressure of no higher than 140/90 to allow medical certification for 1 year. If you are a little over that you can be certified for 3 months while you work with your doctor to bring blood pressure to an acceptable level.

  • History of Heart Attack and/or Cardiac Stent

    The DOT will require my Cardiac Clearance Form signed by your cardiologist every year. You will also need to have a cardiac stress test performed every 2 years.

  • Diabetes

    Injectable medication other than insulin may require a note from your prescriber documenting its safe use. We will obtain this note for you.

    Insulin use requires MCSA form 5870 to be completed and signed by your insulin prescriber. It also requires you to be seen by your ophthalmologist each year - they will need to complete and sign my Ophthalmology Clearance Form.
