So the bottom line is that we are required by DOT to be in good health to operate a commercial motor vehicle.
Our companies have to make sure we meet the requirements of the DOT,or they will be held accountable by law if we are in violation.
So the other bottom line is that we the driver in order to be in compliance to the laws governed by the DOT,have to pay our own way.
I know when I was a Teamster all the Teamster companies paid for our DOT exam.
You think that was an act of kindness on their part?
No sir that little item has always been an item thats in the NMFA contract.

Union companies pay because they are under contract to pay.
Non-union companies don't pay because theres nothing that says they have to!
More or less yes, you are responsible to have your physical for your liscence, and the company is required too ensure you have passed such tests, not only can they be fined if you are not compliant, but you can as well, as well as loose your liscence for not being in complience with associated laws.
