[QUOTE="BrownChoice, post: 1232459, member: 49817"] The only prescription narcotic DOT drivers cannot take, cdl or not, is methadone. The Codones are semi synthetic and do not show on 5 panel. I take a short acting and a long acting opioid for chronic pain, and i can guarantee anyone, that noone can tell i am taking a narcotic. I am not on a huge dosage and take how i am supposed to.. Spare me the hassle of trying to belittle me for taking narcotics. I dont believe pot is as bad as the opioids i take, yet apparently UPS, or the federal government for that matter, feel the same way. It is entrusted upon professional drivers to use sound judgement when working/driving while taking any controlled substance. Also, just because it is allowed to take controlled substances, doesn't mean ups management wont discriminate a worker who is taking them. Which is why nobody should ever tell management of any medical condition/medications. Its none of their business, keep it personal. As a matter of fact, never tell ANYONE, other than your doctors.
