Having had 2 pulmonary clots, can i be an otr truck driver?

Risky: Hi! that's a difficult situation. If you have had pulmonary embolus twice, i would strongly recommend you have a complete work-up for "hypercoagulability", which means increased blood clotting tendency. Only after that thorough evaluation can you know how great a risk it would be to be sitting behind the wheel for hours, which is in itself a risk for clots.
