    I am looking to apply to Prime soon. I have been on medication for 15 years and am completely stable for General Anxiety Disorder. I DO need to be on meds though. Is there ANY way that it is possible for me to become a trucker with Prime Inc. Has anyone been in a similar situation and have found a way to still go through training?? Or am I completely SOL??

    Depends on what the med you're taking is. They're pretty picky about such things.

    thanks a lot RickG, this definately helps my confidence of being hired. It sounds as if I have doctors notes clearing me to perform the specific duties (which I feel confident I can get) then I should be alright. I will def still see what the recruiter says. Thanks for your help!

    Antidepressants are usually allowed by most companies. The benzos however are tricky but I found a few companies that will let you use them with a drs note
