A CDL driver was disqualified from obtaining a DOT medical card for one year due to honesty about a past suicide attempt, creating a career and financial crisis.

No clear guidance or pathway exists for drivers with mental health histories to navigate DOT medical certification without career-ending disqualification, and the system lacks a process for second opinions or appeal.
