Profile For Dennis S.

Oh wow, I really appreciate all the replies and amazing information. I didn't even think about individual company policies haha.

I've read a lot of the threads here and found so much information =P I'm not actually interested in doing OTR or Regional routes. My goals are much smaller and closer to home, like a garbage truck, or cement truck, or.. some other kind of truck that doesn't involve me driving across the country lol. I've spent 100% of my time with my wife and kids for 6 whole years. None of us can accept the life of a real man =P

While digging deeply into these forums, I did find a list of medications that disqualify and the one I have is not on it, so that's possibly a good thing =P

For anybody else who finds this and is interested in knowing if any kind of prescribed medication will prevent you from qualifying for the DOT.

Hello everybody, I've been looking for specific DOT disqualifications regarding Anxiety/Panic Disorder.

I've been out of the army for 6 years with 3 deployments under my belt and finally feel like I can actually go back into the world. I am 80% disabled for Asthma (10%) and 70% (Anxiety). Although I've always been told that my disability from the army will have no effect on my actions in the Civilian World regarding employment.

I am prescribed a drug called Clonazepam for my Anxiety. In all honesty, I only take 1 or 2 of these pills a year lol. I do have "panic" attacks, but there nearly never anything that would prevent me from doing a job, and the ones that do usually happen when I'm ripped from sleep. (the very few times I actually take my prescribed medication haha).

So, all my cards on the table there. Honesty is always the best policy =P I'd rather know my chances of a career up front, rather then getting excited over something I would not be allowed to do.

Also, thank you to whoever reads and responds to this.
