DOT physical??
Why company's make you take a new DOT physical every time you hire with a new company even if yours is less then a cpl months old? Some company's may not but every company I have talked to do. Seems like a waste of money to me but there has to be a reason that I am unaware of.
Thanks

Simply - it is easier for them to track who and when their driver had one.
ie Start monts/date and physical coincide so they know to make sure you have your DOT physical when and as you become eligible for other things based on your tenure dates.
