Dot physical

So, did they send you to the "cool" nurse? The one who would scream her head off?

 

And then they go and discuss it with their colleagues

 

Last test I done I think the guy was messin with me because I had to carry a crate full of weights across the room and back, then I had to hold the crate and climb a step ladder 2 steps up and down twice, then I had to do squats with the crate fully loaded with weights and a sand bag, then I had to take that crate and put it on a cart and push the cart across the room and back while having a heart monitor attached to me. Once I did all that I passed no problems.

 

I don't think he was messing with you, I had a similar one years ago and haven't had one like that since. I wonder if there are different levels of tests and some companies require a certain test depending on the physical demands of the job.

 

These were required by your employer.

 

What did you say?

 

I am going for my dot physical next week and wanted to know if they look up past rx history. I used to take suboxone and it will not show up in the drug test. The only way they will know is if they look up rx history. Do they do that? I am just now going to get my license for the first time

 

Go get the physical and stop worrying about old prescriptions. HOWEVER, because I know what Suboxone is prescribed for I beg you to make dang sure you are NOT going to be taking narcotic pain killers anymore! If you are not 100% sure do yourself a favor and find another line of work.

 

I haven't taken any pain killers for about 9 years , I only stay on suboxone because I was in a bad motorcycle accident and still have some pain. And my dr said it would be more beneficial to stay on suboxone then go off. It dont make me tired or any other affected other then stop pain and stop being sick. I would never do or take anything that could cause me to hurt any one. My first profession was a fire fighter in California. Then after my accident I could no longer pass there physical agility tests.
