I am in college now and want to pursue a career in trucking when I get a degree( My dream is driving across America). I am 38 with no kids and want to drive O.T.R across the country. I am doing research with company sponsored trucking schools. My question is I have quit drinking for about 6 months now and take an anti depressant--Zoloft which does not impair my driving. I don't want to get discriminated or not accepted in a school when I am trying to change my life by staying off the booze because of my diagnosis. I never have had and major psychological issues like suicidal thoughts or schizophrenia. I just got the Zoloft to help me out while being newly sober. I know DOT physical will ask about my mental health. I have seen some drivers online say don't tell them and don't tell the trucking school since my medical mental history is protected by Hippa. Can a trucker out there give me the low down on what you think i should do. Thnx.....Nick

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
