    Heck, most MRO's would want to number of the Dr. that prescribed the meds. Or the pharmacy that filled it.
    Heck, I don't think Ive even been given a prescription in the last 5 years. It's always been "called in" to my pharmacy. No, she's now in the clearinghouse database so she must do a SAP program if she wants to drive with a CDL required job.

    1. This lady needs to answer a question. It is important. Was she notified that her name was on the clearinghouse? This is critical. The SAP/return to duty process is the ONLY way to get back driving a CDL required CMV.
    2. This is NOT a career fatal situation, but in the future, this lady needs to understand when taking a prescription medication that will show up on a test to keep all her records AND DO NOT BE ON DUTY while taking it. Unless an ME has signed off on it!

    Agreed. Generally, I stay cynical when it comes to DOT positives. I am sure there are people perusing these forums tonight and later that will come upon this. If you want help with a DOT positive, please tell the truth.

    Unless the DEA has made major changes, pharmacies are REQUIRED BY RULE to have a physician's written signature for all schedule II substances they dispense. I think in an emergency it can be called in, but only a small amount.

    She did the SAP program. Completed as of about 4 days ago I believe. And yes she did register with the clearing house. This is all news to me man. I'm trying to help her but half the info shes throwing at me I'm not able to process because I didn't know what it was. I had no idea what the clearing house even was.

    All I need is 2nd chance companies that can help her. Asking me all kinds of questions is not going to help.

    Without knowing what's going on, no one can recommend anything.
