    who do you mean "they"? DOT drug screen/physical or trucking companies in general, or both?

    Im going to speak from experience. I wanted a script for ambien. I was having a hell of a time sleeping and my doc said if I give you this, you may not drive. She told me they will not pass a drug screen. Sleep aids, from what I have been told by some in safety plus some who do DOT physicals are an extremely touchy subject when it comes to CDL holders because they are a form of narcotic.
