What are the laws regarding prescription pain meds(including methadone)when driving class A trucks?
Asked by treeman
I am planning on getting my class A license and a long haul truck driving job. I have had to take pain meds in the past for back pain. Is it legal to take prescription pain meds while driving the big rigs. The pain meds that work for me are oxycodone(percacet) or methadone.

Best Answer:
I know that it is against the law to use methadone and drive a truck but I am not sure about the other meds. I would call Human Resources and ask what the policy is regarding prescription medications and driving.

A:
You are not allowed to drive while impaired. No one can take oxycodone without being impaired. It is a strong drug..
