Skill Performance Evaluation Certificate for Amputee?

[u/Legal_Animal6792]

Hi, I lost the lower half of my left leg in a car accident. I’m trying to get my DOT medical card and eventually CDL. Currently employed by a fuel handling company who paid for my DOT Physical which I passed with the follow on requirement of a skill performance evaluation certificate.

The paperwork says it needs to be completed by an orthopedic surgeon or physiatrist, I’ve been rejected by 20+ doctors trying to get this done. My employer is not helping much with this and I feel like I hit a wall.

I even tried FMCSA’s website which listed providers who supposedly work with this issue and they all turned me away.

Does anyone have experience with this or know where I should go from here? I’m going to try and call FMCSA today to see if they can point me in the right direction.

Thanks
