Truck driving school while on suboxone

by Ben
(Massachusetts)

Hey guys, I’m looking into NETTTS to get my CDL, but I’ve been on suboxone nearly a year now. I’m afraid of relapse if I get off this stuff, and it doesn’t impair my driving ability.


I’ve done some research as far as DOT physicians, and needing a letter from my prescribing physician stating that I’m ok to drive,

I’m just wondering if anybody out there has gone through trucking school in my position, and if so, were you able to get through it without being hassled for your medications?

Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you.

They did a 12-panel urine drug test at my orientation for a major carrier I just didn't tell them I was on suboxone and I obviously passed the drug screen as I continued on through the paid CDL training. I'm not advocating to lie, but what they don't know .... well, you know. People say, "Oh no, if you get in an accident, they will say it's your fault." Well, again, they don't test for it even then (according to a fellow driver that had an accident and was given a standard UA within hours after the wreck). I'm not sure about that but I just never tell them.

Suboxone is an opioid:
You won't be able to pass a drug test. Trucking companies will give you a urine or hair follicle or both, drug test.
You'll have to be completely off all opioids; legal or illegal, to qualify for trucking. Your body & hair will also have to be clean of opioids.
