    Hello friends,

    So, after studying for my CDL tests, getting my permit, and passing the DOT Physical, Roehl sends me medical releases for my doctor to fill out releasing me to work.

    I had injured my knee 6 months ago, went to rehab and got it working 100%. During that time, I was prescribed morphine to take on an as needed basis. I was given it in the hospital also.

    I put all this on my DOT physical.

    Roehl does the hair follicle test, ( and Roehl said the test goes back 1 year ), so they called me and told me that there should not be any problem, just have my doctor sign a release.

    I never saw it coming, but he wouldnt release me !

    So, there goes that job, and yes, Im very disappointed, and I may be down, but Im not out. I came too far to just give up.

    All I want to do know is just complete my CDL and then look for a decent company to work for.

    Im considering United States Truck Driving Training Service , I believe is the full name, in Detroit , as well as Diesel Truck Driving school in Sun Prairie, WI.

    Any thoughts or suggestions for schools where I wont be obligated , necessarily, will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Deirdre

    I'm puzzled here. Your doctor refused to release you for work. Is there some structural problem that still affects your knee?

    As transam pete said if I were you the first thing I would do is find out why your DR wouldn't release you. No matter which company you go to your DR still isn't going to release you. There has to be some other reason for him not giving you the release. Just my $0.02 worth.

    Im sorry, i thought I had mentioned that my doctor "believes " that I still had the morphine in my system and he said" these companies always look for someone to blame, and if you have an accident, they will take my medical license "..

    I believe this is also in the wrong part of the forum. I dont see how this makes Roehl a bad company, because your doctor wont give a release.

    And people wonder why I don't trust Doctors. The hair follicle test is probably what the doc is worried about.

    Ask the Doctor if this is the case, but don't count on an answer. Everyone in the medical complex is worried about protecting their license.

    Let the doctor know if he doesn't release you then you will change doctors. As long as the morphine isn't within the last 3 months I wouldn't think it would stop you from being released by a doctor for going to work...
