    I did in driving school. They did random testing and they didn't kick me out. If its on my health card...doesn't that make it ok?

    Well I don't abuse my meds....so I'm NOT gonna overdose on 2 pills a day. And synthetic herion is the pill called roxycodone. And doctor can't prescribe those in my state. I'm sorry to hear that about ur son.

    Its pretty simple really, the drug urine test will look for I think 5 different classes of drugs. Legal drugs can show a positive result for an illegal drug. Example, a heavy pain killer can show a positive result for heroin. Most of the time nobody will listen to your legitimate explanation even though you have done nothing illegal. The problem is if you ever have a wreck and this is discovered they gave you a pass it would be construed as this person should never have been allowed to drive this truck and the company will come under fire. You can see how they cover their own behind for this type of thing.

    hey, i was scared clueless @ going to ffe because of the horror stories about them, thing is, everybody has to start somewhere, all you can do is grit your teeth and deal with it. as for the narco and your health card, do you mean your DOT med card? either way, if you have a legit script, i think you'll be allright, best bet though would to be call recruiting ASAP in the morning and get a hold of a supervisor and explain BEFORE you head out.

    Good luck to ya future Driver.

    Ok I understand that part. Now...what about my card....can a company find out just from the card what I'm taking? And if so...what do I do....do I get another physical and have it removed or keep tryin with what I have?

    Yes you are required to disclose All meds you take. Which is equally about your own protection as it is the employer. If you fail to disclose the med and if it is a disqualifier you will have a failed drug test. A failed drug test is nearly impossible to overcome in this industry. If you list the drug and it is a disqualifier you will just get sent home. Always bring your prescriptions with you.
