has successfully managed to convince the idiots in Congress, the useless FMSCA and the evil ATA to accept their new DOT physical examination, effective immediately. Called the "driver, can you fit into this booth?" test - DCYFITB ( pronounced - dee cee why bee fit) - it entails the following: 1. if the driver can successfully maneuver into a typical restaurant or diner booth, he or she can drive. 2. If the driver cannot get into the designated test booth, he or she will be granted a waiver to drive, but must be retested after 90 days. Three chances to pass will be offered. After the 3rd time, if you still can't get in, your finished in trucking. Squeezing in, being pushed in by another person, using lubricant of any kind is strictly forbidden. Getting in and sitting there with one's stomach or boobs drooping onto the table is not allowed. You must be able to breathe and focus once in the booth. No bulging eye balls. Sitting there, he or she must be able to read the menu and order a real "truckers" meal in English. No Spanish, Polish, Russian, Indian or other foreign dialect is allowed. If the requirements of this rigorous test can be accomplished by the driver, he or she will be granted a 2 year medical card signed by the restaurant manager. The driver promises to then eat dinner in the designated booth. Test booths will be available at all Flying J, Petro, T/A and Wendy's locations.
