    Now I just got an automated phone call from tmc saying I've been invited to orientation. This highly confusing and a little weird.

    I am in school in Alabama and I graduate on March the 20th, I am very interested in Mcelroy I filled out my app sent them some employment records and tax documents she asked me for and they just sent a request to my instructors for my dot card and mvr today , I was just wondering how long it will take to get an invite to orientation from this point? or should I call her back to check the status of my application?

    my recruiter told me that McElroy doesn't require a sleep apnea test unless your physical shows you may need one well when I took my dot physical for school the doctor didn't say anything about it I'm curious that if you do have to take the sleep apnea test would McElroy pay for it are do you have to pay for it ?

    I also had a doctor question, just trying to cover my bases and butt. There will be a hair follicle test, and the only thing that concerns me is I was prescribed lortab in December cause I busted my head open and also wellbutrin in September, both were prescribed and I went to my pharmacy today to get a print out of my prescription history. So I didn't know if that would be any kind if problem I assumed not since I had a legal prescription and haven't taken wellbutrin since October and only took the lortab for 2 days. I didn't know if I should just bring the papers with me and show if I do come back positive or just give them my rap sheet when I show up.

    I was prescribe lortab in jan they told me just to bring the paperwork with me to show I had a prescription for it and u will most likely need a release from the doctor saying you don't have to take it anymore and your ok to return to work I might be mistaken but the hair follicle test only goes back 60 days so whatever you took in sept shouldn't be a problem either call your recruiter and ask them about it

    Those drugs are completely out of your system. You will be fine. Don't volunteer any info with anyone.

    Yea I'm learning quickly to stop volunteering information to people. My wife tells me all the time "you really need to stop telling people things they don't need to know"
