Managing prescription refills while you're over the road.

I don't know anything about it. But I have a question from you. How come your prescription drugs are not causing problems in your Trucking career?

 

There are no prohibited prescription drugs with regard to Truckers, NOT even narcotic pain killers. Now a carrier might have a tighter standard. There are many drivers that are taking drugs for blood pressure and some are even taking things like Metformin like I was. A driver can legally take a narcotic if they have a legal prescription AND the medical examiner says it's OK! Anybody that tells you a drug is prohibited is talking out both sides of their mouths. There is one exception to this. Any drug used to control seizures is not allowed. I have epilepsy and am currently taking 2 meds for seizure control. LINK

 

Mine is a muscle relaxer and nerve pain medication so I missed trucking They didn't say no, I myself felt nervous and scared after seeing some trucks in accidents. In fact I saw an accident last night in which a truck had rear-ended a little car

 

I was passing from there last night, I saw it live, the little car in front was ruined by the truck. The trunk was gone

 

As your career develops you are also going to see something else. A lot of veteran drivers are also "steering wheel holders". Please don't take my word for it, just keep a critical eye out. There are many drivers that don't respect their size and weight! My main point is it's not just the rookies that yank stupid!
