As an afterthought, something about this whole line of reasoning bothers me. It is not easy to get approved for disabled status, hence the many ads for disability attorneys on TV. A person has to be sufficiently impaired so as to prevent them from engaging in anything considered to be "substantial gainful activity" - in other words, if someone has been a neurosurgeon and develops a slight hand tremor, as long as they can get a job at Waffle House busing tables, they're not disabled.
Assuming this thread isn't just a massive troll-a-rama, in order to have ADHD be a person's primary disabling condition, the ADHD would have to be very, very (off the charts) severe. In that case, it's hard to believe that someone with that level of inattention would ever be able to be a safe truck driver, and we don't want them out on the road endangering everyone else.
I'll revisit my original post and recommend that the OP contact their local Division of Vocational Rehabilitation for an evaluation of their readiness and ability to work. They'll also help set him/her up for success by finding a sensible starter position.
Truck driving isn't for everyone, and try to bear in mind that there are lots of other career options out there, more than you or I can imagine. You might want to have a listen to Garth Brooks' unanswered prayers.
