Truck Driving and Pacemaker

Can you be a truck driver if you have a pacemaker? I know that people with type 2 diabetis can't. Anyone knows if people with pacemaker are not allowed to drive Trucks???

Thank you,

belle

dot rules is that you can drive a truck with a pacemaker but not with a defibrillator. ck. a dot hand book. i miss driving and it is hard sence i have been lay-off from comcar ind. where i worked for 28yr & nine mo.
i know that not able too work on eng. and welding had a lot to do with my lay off. but if i had a pacemaker i would have went back too driving!!!!
