All good input here and I appreciate it. I just got off the phone with the person that trained me and he also turned in his medical and took the restriction, he is in his late 60's and said he didn't want to drove OTR anymore, he still drives heavy wrecker daily locally (ish). He said the DMV said he could get a physical whenever he wanted and remove the restriction (like karplus 2 said).
akylekoz I had a similar driving test story. I practiced and took it on a truck my company had but I was told you had to use the clutch during the test, it was easier to not to but I was doing it. During the test the brownie told me to pull over on a hill (so they could see my clutch control). I was pulling a heavy pup trailer, I wanted the short trailer but the only one I could get was just about maxed out so I pull over, put it in 1st (which I rarely did because it was so low), started letting out the clutch and stalled it instantly. Before the brownie said anything, I restarted the truck, flipped it in to low range, told the brownie I forgot to put the truck in low range and pulled away without issue. I thought I failed for sure but they never said a thing and I passed with no notes.
