well i leave for the springfield terminal for cdl school on the 9th for the second time. the first time i had issues from my license from 9 yrs ago and having to deal with medical. I didnt know the meds in my system prescribed by my doc would fail me so had to come back home for 30 days to get off the meds. So now i get to go back for the first week all over again. oh well. they still want me at prime so thats the plus side

thanks... been reading tons of posts from you seebs ord and many others... trying to get as much info as possible but had no idea that prescribed meds would dq me... now my months wait is up and get to go back again

Get a good nights rest before the physical, stay away from caffiene and salt , drink lots of water, and take whatever meds you are currently on per directions. This advice comes from a doc who is actively involved with truckers. He says this will make things go much smoother for ya.

i had my doc take me off all meds so the doc at campus wont have anything to complain about this time... i shouldve had my cdl already and in tnt but had to take a 20hr greyhound ride home and now get to head back again on monday... if anyone is headin through nashville on monday towards sprimo stop by and save me a greyhound ride

also luckily my bp such is fairly outstanding even though ive gotten slightly out of shape after gettin out of the AF

what kind of meds can DQ you?
-
i was prescribed hydrocodone and cyclobenzaprine... they wanted me off both for 30 days before they would pass me for my physical... basically any narcotic as far as i know... at least thats what the doc up there said... i thought if it was prescribed id be ok but thats what i get for thinkin...

Just talked to the recruiter and found out im gonna have to either repay the 100$ fees at for school or pay for my greyhound ride... not real happy about that piece of news...

Tell him you want it in writing. Unless you signed something agreeing to pay, you owe them nothing. It can be considered a condition of employment and a risk of doing business luring drivers in.
