[QUOTE="onehandsolo, post: 1084504, member: 34631"] A few things to remeber a physician can renew or decline your dot card if you our prescribed certain meds eg sleeping pills and pain killers. In my case the physician overseeing my physical consulted with my physician and decided to issue me a new card. He did inform of the issues with these meds and to be sure they did not prohibit me from driving safe. Basicaly I take a sleeping pill on Friday nights so I can unwind and occaisonaly pop a pain killer on Saturday. Every driver should read the contract and be aware of the drug testing and substance abuse policies. Also dot, Ups and the insurance company all have different policies. A few years back some drivers were taking of the road for not disclosing the prescription meds they were taking during there dot physical. The dot can clear you to work but if you have an accident and are drug tested you can still be disclipined if to much of a banned substance is in your body. good luck [/QUOTE]
