I NEED A JOB!!!!!!

A noob driver with zero experience is going to take a 40 ton truck on the highways while on prescription opiate.
I don't know about you guys but I'm giddy with excitement.

 

Enough picking on the new girl. She's better looking than most of you and I want her to stick around.

 

Well that would explain being tailgated by other drivers, you'd think those flammible signs would back them up, but it don't

 

no way ! you haven't seen me in a clean shirt

 

Ok here is what you do try them out you are the only one that can judge them every company has negative reviews but one thing you have to remember is its all pretty one sided. a lot of cases drivers bring in on themselves but they leave that part out. sure there are bad companies out there but just cause someone got screwed doesn't mean all drivers will. I used to believe what I read till I became a company owner and as good of a company as I am I know there are dissatisfied drivers cause you cant please everyone but they have done things to deserve it. for every unsatisfied driver there is a satisfied one. You don't see that cause very rarely will someone post a positive review. Just go to work for them for a year if you don't like them leave and go somewhere else and get a raise at the same time.

 

Narcotics aren't approved, BUT the examining physician has the ability to certify you anyways if he feels your safe while on them. Keep in mind your card will ALWAYS be up to doctor discretion and a different company may send you to their clinic and that doctor may no be ok with it. I would work on whatever your pain issue is in another way if possible. Long term pain killer use isn't good for your body plus at some point it will stop working.

Your kidding right? LOL! No different than Oxy's? HYDROcodone and OXYcodone are FAR different than each other. Thats like saying Aspirin is Crack.

You can with a prescription, I've done it.

Again with your terrible analagies, why does she have no business driving, because YOU say she doesn't? Congrats on being sober for 14yrs, but just because you may have an issue if you use legit drugs or alcohol doesn't mean everybody else does. That sucks that you lost your kid, I'm sorry about that but something tells me he wasn't exactly using the stuff responsibly or legally, BIG difference. I've been prescribed them twice since driving by the same doctor that did my card with no issues. The FMCSA is ok with it if the doctor says it's ok, everybody pretty much on this place is always against the over reach of people AND opinion when it comes to the FMCSA/DOT when it comes to most things, but then when they ARE ok with it, you bash it. Hillarious.

What medications disqualify a CMV driver?
PreviousNext


A driver cannot take a controlled substance or prescription medication without a prescription from a licensed practitioner.
If a driver uses a drug identified in 21 CFR 1308.11 (391.42(b)(12)) or any other substance such as amphetamine, a narcotic, or any other habit forming drug, The driver is medically unqualified.
There is an exception: the prescribing doctor can write that the driver is safe to be a commercial driver while taking the medication. In this case, the Medical Examiner may, but does not have to certify the driver.
Any anti-seizure medication used for the prevention of seizures is disqualifying.
Methadone use is disqualifying.
The Medical Examiner has 2 ways to determine if any medication a driver uses will adversely affect safe operation of a CMV:
1. Review each medication - prescription, non-prescription and supplement
2. Request a letter from the prescribing doctor

i have 240 classroom hours in drug counseling you might want to come better armed if you want to debate me
the difference on any of these opiates is whether they are time released or have aspirin/or tylenol in them also
Driving and opiates don't mix whether abused or not
no matter how they affect any single person
the reactions seen are just outwards manifestations of the drug

might as well say some people can drink and drive and some cant

 

I just noticed this thread. Sorry for the late response on the call out no need to yell!!

 

There are many things I'd like to say.....But....ill keep most private.....2 points here....
1-to the OP....people rarely post the good its the complainers who do most of the company posting....read w/a grain of salt...and Make your Own decision....
2--as for the dope.....and I am making NO value judgement here(people in glass houses y'know) Approved or not...
take this scenario......You are in major wreck....
you're hospitalized....random is mandatory....hospital already has your blood....investigating officer asks for tox screen results.....you got Opiates in your system(Approved or not)....You are BUSTED....end of discussion....Your world cillapses....YOU are now at fault don't give a #### the circumstances.....same as a DUI....in a comm vehicle....depending on circumstances....you are very likely gonna be a guest of the state for awhile....gonna cost ya every PENNY you ever had....your done drivin a truck period&gonna be quite some time before you drive a car again.......and I'll let your imagination wonder abouut the Civil liability in todays litigious society.....

 

One question , why does she have to take a narcotic for her pain , and just what is causing that pain , if its back pain , then she needs to run....... not walk away from any sort of truck driving , just saying.
and BTW , she already has a job , her 1st post says so , with PTL.....have a job , then no worries , go to work.....wants a job , says she has a job , says she takes a narcotic for pain , didn't all that get covered while in the process of taking the job /being interviewed....or maybe she didn't disclose all the info.....and the wheels go round and round......
