Highly noted.
Here’s the update, the doctor finally sent the form over and then they called me back said I failed my urine test and they were kicking me out.
I said no way that’s not true, no way I failed my urine test. So they went back and checked and seen that I only failed a hair test and also passed two urine test. They reinstated me and made me sign a paper saying I don’t take the medication anymore.
Just like that I was put into a truck with the other students.
What should I do?

As for VA docs doing DOT medicals, I thought that had gone thru already. I will have to dig into what the hold up is. -
But they have to cover their own backside, especially with all the bad press.
I've been with Swift just over 12 years. Some people have a bad experience, but mine has been very good.
Over 40% of the drivers at my terminal have at least a million miles with Swift, and that is a lot of years at the same company for all those drivers.
It isn't because we can not find work elsewhere, it is because we like it where we are at.Metalicious, lual and dptrucker Thank this. -

Bleeping big uglies. They are big and they are ugly. I went through the same thing with not so swift well over 2 decades ago. My doctor was nice enough to fill out and sign the papers. If I were you I would look for another job right now ASAP !!! The problem isn’t with your dot medical card it’s with not very swift. It will not hurt you one bit to talk to some other carriers. You can also get yourself another physical. I would love to give you some advice over the phone and dig into your case a little more.

You could say you take a one-a-day vitamin and they want a doctor to sign off on it.
