    You may need to get a dot physical done before starting with a company anyway, as I believe many companies require you to have a learners permit before starting, and you need the physical to get the permit. My opinion is, as long as you pass the physical, you should be good to go. But that is largely up to the doctor doing the physical. This is of course just my opinion, don't quote me on this.

    I think you are talking about two different things.ADD/ADHD is not the same thing as taking medication.

    "It is as if you are driving through thick fog, on a dark road, trying to get to where you know you are supposed to be. The problem is, you lost the directions and have no GPS to guide you — and, in the background, the radio is playing loud songs that are changing." -April, Texas -


    ...sounds a lot like trucking except the part where we lose direction.

    What do you mean by that? Do you mean I can hyper focus on certain things? If so, yes.

    I've got it but got to tell you that if the answer is yes to those questions >>>> it means you are bored and the teacher is boring.
