    I had shoulder surgery, I did get morphine, fentanyl for the surgery. Yes I listed them on the drug test, with no issue. If you don't list them thats when I would expect an issue.

    If you were out over 30 days FMCSA says you have to get a new DOT PHYSICAL.

    They certainly do not. Tell your company to show you that in the regs. They are screwing with you.
     
    Powder Joints and Opus Thank this.

    Its company policy as to when and if you have to get a physical and drug test when your coming back from an injury. Not a DOT certification.
