Honestly if someone is dumb enough to go to someone's home and let them perform a physical there, that's their own fault.

Wait a minute! Isn't it supposed to be the guys who trick a woman to come to his home to play "doctor"?

Beyond that-- I know some truckers have a reputation for being dumb as a bag of hammers, but I would think if a chiropractor or a psychiatrist starts giving DOT physicals that should raise some red flags. That's not their normal field, after all.

You'd be surprised at how many chiropractors give DOT physicals, including the many who are registered in the FMCSA Registry.

If the doctors home isn't the tipoff then being handed a Campbells Chicken Noodle soup can for a urine specimen should raise a flag or two.

I wouldn't be surprised if over half of the victims had issues and went to her because she would "give them a break."

Basically buying a passing grade.

Or the cost of a DOT from one of the "government approved" doctors is proving to be too expensive for many. Rates ain't exactly keeping up with costs.

It seems in the old days, the company paid for the physical.
At least for employees.

I never drove as an employee, I have no idea.

Just did my physical at a clinic in Tampa, $65, not complaining about that price, thought will the extra requirements on the doctors would mean it would cost more.
