    I was just wondering what Swift's stance was on prescribed Adderall or other ADD medications. I know they are allowed by the DOT and will not cause you to fail your physical if you provide a doctors note that says it will not impair your driving of a commercial motor vehicle. But I have read that the actual policies vary from one carrier to another and wanted to know if any of you know what Swift's policy was on them. Thanks.

    You will not have a problem, they may ask you to get the doctor to sign a medical waiver.

    I would have that letter with you at the time you report for Swift training or orientation.
