You absolutely cannot train at FBF while medically DQed. You'd have to get it on your own and win an appeal

Default A question

I trained at FBF for cdl this past fall, if I failed my medical I wouldn't have been able to proceed two weeks later correct? I'm concerned because I had to go back to retake my vision then I was FBF a week later for cdl training...just paranoid about things being cool hopefully, thanks for taking the time.

so many questions at once. I'll try to hit them

If you got your cdl through fbf then got DQ...you keep cdl
If you are there and get dq...they boot you. Happened several times last year.
Yes you can fail for high blood pressure. They will tell you to calm down...try it again.....then ask about any meds to control it. Yes you can be DQed for certain medicines you might be taking for the high blood pressure. Don't say anything and hope nothing shows lol.

If medically DQed you can't be hired obviously. You can appeal after after they pass your number by seeing your own doctor...but takes months.

XRays of chest and back so the shoulders end up in the shot too.
