I take adderall 30mg and i passed the physical, i didnt take my perscription for a few days before the drug test so i would pass, but i told the doctor that gave it that i had a perscription to adderal. I gave her the doctors note that stated I was more than capable of driving OTR or regional/local routes while on my medication. Was in orientation 3 days and then they sent me home for it. This was MCElroy. The doctor i go to said they have a few truckers that take the same medication I do and drive OTR. So i guess it depends on how anal the company's personnel department is.

Hey chase i was wondering did you ever find a company to hire you or are you still looking? Or did you just say to heck with the med? Im asking because i am in the same shoes you are. Im trying to find a company to give me a pre-hire but dont know where to begin since all i am reading online says no amphetamines. Im prescribed adderall for add. My dr says im more than capable to drive otr while taking my med.
