First off Lorazapam is given for anxiety disorders and not sleep problems. Any doctor that would prescribe this medication to someone that is driving a truck should take a hard look at themselves. Or at least look at the rules and regulations. If you do find a doctor that does write a prescription then good luck getting past your company. You should look for something less sedative and more mainstream. You'd be much better off for it.

If you do have it and use it without anyone knowing that you are using it I'd be real careful. If something were to happen and you test positive or they find that you were using it without their knowledge they will put you on your own and all the responsibility will fall on you. It's not really worth it. Look around you can find something else and get the company approval and be just as effective. Good Luck.

I was on Benzos for a short period of time. I would take it when I wasn't working and it would knock me out.
The next day at work driving, I would get super drowsy by the end of night/morning while still driving as if I didn't get enough sleep even though I did.
Stopped taking them and I was fine.
Benzos and trucking,especially if you drive at night are a bad combo. That's taking them when not on duty.
You should be disqualified as a driver if you "need" to take them on duty.
