    Don't Fup next time, that was your bad, in trucking you cannot mess around with those medical questions. 0 tolerance by most, if you screw up on the first set of questions, what else will you screw up and put the company at risk for? First impressions.

    Its not what you taking they had a problem with, its not being forth coming regarding it. as far as a Doc releasing you to drive taking meds, that is up to the fed list on banned drugs. Not Swifts choice.

    First of all, you cannot judge a company by the posts written on this forum. That shows ignorance on your part. I state this because just because one person has had a bad experience doesn't conclude someone else will. My case in point: I'm a company driver with CRE. I just talked to a Phase II trainer who grossed $2,800 last week. I grossed $900 as a solo driver. Yes, it's a long hard road to get to where I'm at and where the other driver was at, but it IS possible.

    2nd, there are times when starter companies are the only game in town. Local companies want recent OTR experience, and the only way to get that is with a starter company or to buy your own truck. If you're lucky, you might get on with a company like Conway if they are hiring in your area.

    Meds carelessly omitted from your physical, wow! even on the form it states in black and white ? are you under a doctors care. how could you forget your taking RX everyday and not tell them??? .

    The good news is you are not the first and certainly not the last who will be dusted off for omits....

    Good Gerda, don't go with those other choices either! You can do better than that.

    Please STOP!!
    Nothing gets accomplished with bickering going on. If you don't have anything constructive, relating to the thread, please don't waste bandwidth with useless posts.

    Thank you!:biggrin_25514:
