Serious Question

If you pass your physical with them. You should be good to go.

 

Drug test pain meds are narcotics even if prescribed by doctor not supposed to driver,,I hurt my shoulder on the job {flatbed} couple yrs back was given pain med in hospital wasn't allowed to drive the truck for 72 hrs

 

Any form of pain killer that has opiates in it is asking for trouble when it comes to you being in a CMV. And a lot of it, at that.

 

You cant be on opioid pain killers. They will impair your judgement and consciousness. Talk to your doctor and see if you can work out a treatment plan that doesn't use as heavy pain meds.

Your prescription bottle has a label on it that says "do not operate heavy machinery while taking this med". That rules out driving a truck. Plus like other posters said--there are rules against it.
Wait until you're off those and have transitioned to Advil.
In addition, you'll have range-of-motion issues to comply with depending upon what type of trucking you'll want to do.

 

shouldnt be a problem I had leukemia as a child, I am on so many drugs that I could open my own drug store.

 

Some companies don't require a physical if you already have a DOT medical card, but they do a drug test.

Paschall Truck Lines accepts current medical DOT cards, but you still will have to pass a drug test.

 

You must have the DOC. review the med. you take and sign off that he has gone over all nac. with you and doc. sig. is all you need.(you told the doc. by putting all med. you take on med. form I hope}
