I have to agree that some examiners like to poke and prod. when my fiancee had his last DOT Physical the examiner wouldn't give him a medical card until he went to his regular doctor to prove his A1C was low enough to get his medical card. He has type 1 diabetes and the FMCSA ruled that anyone...
I had a DOT Physical in August 2016 and I didn't have to any of that. My fiancee just had his 3rd DOT Physical a few months ago and said that I would have to not only bend over and touch the floor and also do the "duck walk".
I have checked all over including the ruling of the FMCSA on DOT...
