Drug tests are supposed to be performed the next time you go on duty. If you don't plan on going on duty, then you should be fine.

OK, Let's start all over! NO, you need more than a legal prescription to actually drive a CMV when taking one of the substances listed in 40.85! Pay close attention to how this is worded! LINK! You MUST also have the ME who does the physical to approve it. Without this approval EVEN with a legal RX you might have a problem. This is NOT my opinion, it is the rules!
Toolmaker96, wis bang, slow.rider and 2 others Thank this. -
You’ll be clean by the time you test. If you give yourself 72 hours tops you’ll be fine.

Question 3: Must a driver who is returning from an illness or injury undergo a medical examination even if his current medical certificate has not expired?
Guidance: The FMCSRs do not require an examination in this case unless the injury or illness has impaired the driver’s ability to perform his/her normal duties. However, the motor carrier may require a driver returning from any illness or injury to take a physical examination. But, in either case, the motor carrier has the obligation to determine if an injury or illness renders the driver medically unqualified.Rideandrepair Thanks this.
