Schneider Orientation: DOT Physical

i have not heard of any company that would disqualify based on that. the big dq'ers are drugs,alcohol, uncontrollable high blood pressure, uncontrollable diabetes, and uncontrollable sleep apnea. and i guess any pain severe enough to require narcotics on a regular basis (my wife couldnt drive a truck...her psoriatic arthritis requires that she take a couple different disqualifying drugs just to function) as long as you dont have pain that requires heavy drugs, i cant imagine that your "condition" would be the thing that disqualifies you no matter where you applied.

 

They will accept dot physical from an outside source if you feel more comfertable doing that. They accept mine. But they send me to there testing site to do the drug screening. On their drug screen they take both a urine sample and a hair sample just did mine this morning

 

I have been nervous about the drug thing. I got shot in 03 in the knee and don't hafta to take lortab daily but when weather changes and gets cold it bothers the knee and I take but have script and all that but I would hope that wouldn't disqualify me because I can't help it. I was a cop 19 years and they had no problem with having to take and yes was on duty when I was shot by my own dang partner. But will this disqualify me. Because I'm in refresher school because haven't drove and have job lined up and orientation to begin so I dunno. I certainly won't hide it at all I will tell them and I walk w no limp or anything but have a of titanium in my knee and when it gets cold it gets cold and bothers me. Any help would b great. Thanks

 

Schneider takes hair samples. They will know. Choose another company. Just sayin.
