    I recently went to get my physical for my permit. Got to the doctor's went through all the vision, hearing, test. Turn your head and cough yada yada. Then she tells me because two years ago I was prescribed Prozac for mood stabilizer that I need clearance from a pysc doc before she can give me my medical clearance. Can she do that if she already told me im Cleared.

    You are not cleared until you have that med card and long form in your hand and are out the door.

    He volunteered too much information. If he's still on that medication, most companies won't hire him.

    Where is your location; we need to know the hiring area you live in before we can recommend companies. Are you over 21,22,23 yrs. of age?
    Do you want a private cdl school or a trucking company cdl school?

    I agree. List the meds you are taking now. Nothing else.
