For anyone with ADHD but have good driving record and no accidents etc. how would trucking companies view people on prescription medicines for ADHD? From what I understand amphetamines were used by truck drivers and pilots back in the old days due to it making you alert. I would think it's a plus for drivers and the trucking companies but if they don't know what amphetamines are for, then what?
prescription amphetamines for a condition allowed in trucking?

Real drivers never have or never will use drugs.
RockinChair, flood and Long FLD Thank this. -
There are prescribed drugs that you are still not allowed to use while operating a commercial vehicle. I would suggest that you do a google search and see if your prescription is on the denied list.

There was a kid in my CDL class that tested positive for adderall , he was pulled out of the truck that very day but went home and grabbed his prescription and was allowed to continue.

If you take amphetamine and have a drug test you will fail.
As the regulations state you would need a written letter from your Doctor saying you are safe to drive.
BUT,the company may still not allow it. -
code word: prescription.
