I sent all 4 pages of my recent (April '17) D.O.T. Physical to the appropriate Division in Raleigh (NC) office on me phone. Is such not a option in your state?
My last D.O.T. Physical, I DID NOT need "blow in a tube" because I'm a tobacco user. Cone Health did not require such, while United Health (where I went the previous time) did or /does.
You do know you do not have to go to any facility your company dictates as if/when you find a place you like, just go there.
Wait a minute: 1st paragraph you stated then 2nd paragraph , so which is it?? (do you happen to proofread before posting or were both inputs intentional?)
Sorry mate but EVERY TIME one needs a Background Check, one needs Fingerprinting and all the aggravation it entails because possibly through a accident (or self mutilation), fingerprints can change.
When I had the Hassleus Maximus endorsement, sometimes for the Fingerprinting and Background Check we had to travel to 2 places and it was rare that both places were accessible in one day.
All those "inconveniences and hoops" are simply what's needing be done to do what needs be done to insure continuity of what one wants/needs to do.
CHEERS!!
