Is there any disability people that do this job?

I would like to know how the person with a missing leg passed his DOT physcial. Mine is coming up soon and the last time they had me do a deep knee bend\squat and with my knees it's a killer. A friend who is in his early 70's and is a long distance Milk hauler say's it was required of him at his physcial this last summer.

There is something called the Americans with Disabilities act which the court has made decisions that some jobs are accessible to all.

It is the reason my lawn is all torn up and I have new sidewalks connectors to the street with nice red bumpy things at the end with the width that I can drive my truck on. Never mind that the side walk is not ADA complaint but passes code and never mind that not all sidewalk connectors were done, never mind that the road was just dumps on to the existing road way without concern about the problems it may cause.

I have no doub't he's a good police officer. My question is how does the abiltiy to be able or not be able to do a knee bend\squat affect anyone's ability to drive?. I walk about 3 miles day at least 6 days a week. I have seen drivers in truck stops that are outright obese. I would be willing to bet they can hardly get back to their rig with out stopping for a rest.

Lost leg below the knee, I guess that makes a big difference
