Clearinghouse issues from 3 years back

I believe Phentermine is on the no-go list of medications with the DOT. Whether the medication or the condition it is/was meant to treat, you may not be able to hold a CDL until you are no longer taking it and do whatever is required to get back to work.

 

Post accident test.

Makes me wonder how op got a medical certificate every 2? Years. Must have left the medication off of the forms..my guess.

I don’t see how they can avoid going through a SAP program. It’s a prohibited drug and without a waiver he’s screwed.

 

DataQ isn’t going to help.
You can only challenge the accuracy of information in the clearinghouse.

 

Doesn’t matter if you were prescribed it or not, it’s a prohibited drug. Sure, you could have gone on a medical leave from your job while you applied for a waiver but you didn’t. If all the planets aligned in your favor and got one you’d still have problems. Finding a DOT doc to certify you (probably once a year?) would probably be next to impossible.

Clearinghouse aside you didn’t realize narcotics were a problem with being a CDL holder? You never got called up for a random in all those years?

Sorry, nothing is making any sense in your OP.

 

Pretty sure you are correct.

 

DataQ is the process for starting the review.

 

I understand what DaraQ is and it’s very limited when it pertains to the clearinghouse.

 

Here's something else that doesn't add up. Setting your first renegade outfit aside, the new company is required to get your Clearinghouse results back before you can drive for them.

 

I'm assuming the OP can eventually get the issue resolved so everything after this sentence is meant for other people, especially those new to trucking or in some part of industry with less oversight. When you get a CDL your full time job is protecting it. It's not just a type of driver's license. It is your ticket to earn pay. NEVER assume the boss will take care of some detail, like paying a fine. It's your license, daily look for evidence (not just listen to someone's words) the issue has been resolved until it is resolved. Certain types of problems could cause your CDL be suspended which could in some situations mean you are going to jail. The boss isn't going to sleep on a concrete slab while morons argue or fist fight behind bars, you will. You handle the problem yourself or you politely but firmly ask every day about the matter to the person responsible until it is handled. Do Not allow yourself to be blocked by a receptionist or dispatcher from getting an answer TODAY about "has my issue be solved today?"

You can be a nice guy until you have to answer "yes" has your CDL been suspended on job applications. It is YOUR BUSINESS to protect YOUR CDL.

 

Why would a drug test be required for workman's comp? Workman's comp is no-fault insurance.
