DRUGS!!!

As long as you have a valid prescription you're good(As I was told). I went through this 5 months ago.....

 

Proof of prescription is all you need. Federally recognized prescription drugs, not marijuana.

Plus, don't be afraid to talk to your doctor. They might be able to adjust what they were going to give you if it's an issue.
Show him the list of drigs tested for and see if there is an alternative.

 

if its on the ban list yes. you cant drive even if you have prescription. unless dr certifies you if its on the ban list

 

Like ZVar said tell your Doc you are a driver and get something that isn't on the banned list

 

Larger companies usually have a 72 or similar hr policy after last dose

Had a root canal, they gave me vicodin, called co the day after, they sent a form for me to sign and email back certifying i was off the painkiller, 72 hrs after i sent it, i was rolling again.

If you have to do a drug test, just put down *procedure* *drug* in the relevant spot

 

If you do feel recovered enough from what ever doc. will fix about 3or 4 days of drinking plenty of water will flush it out after your recovery, but do not rush back to work if you don't feel right from op. yet?

 

If you only expect one week recovery, there are plenty of pain killers that don't pop hot. After all, if it's that minor it's not like you need morphine.....
Also, if you are a one truck operation, can't you simply put it off until the end of the quarter? @Moose1958 how would that work for single truck operations?
