I have seen this answered before, but I am sure this changes from year to year. I'd like to offer a couple of variations on the topic though.

How much can you expect to make the first year if you pay for your own training? 1) If you only drive local 2) Regional 3) OTR

Looks to me like local and regional jobs are a lot harder to come by for first year folks, but maybe it is possible.

I would assume if the training is paid, you make less and have to do OTR. How much would be made this way?

Actually, the question is to me, "have you ever..?". In my opinion, no, I have not. Just because a doctor might have said so doesn't mean I agree with it. Is that actually even lying on the form?

I don't plan to lie on any forms or anything. I don't believe this was a true diagnosis. It was a short, rough patch and nothing systemic. I thought it might be okay to get a little help, but did not need it and I am fine now. What I plan to do is go back to my doctor, explain that I didn't need it and I am fine. There is the depression/anxiety "Have you ever had" question on the form. Untreated would be just as bad and I would assume that I couldn't actually say no to it.

Would you agree that a little patience and working with my doctor to see this through to a better prognosis/explanation that can be used on the form is a good approach. Assuming this does go well, would it ultimately be disqualifying to the exam or eventual employer?

Hi,

I am a IT professional of 20 years. Recently went through a stressful time at work and and asked for a prescription and was given a script for Lexapro. I have never had a history of anything like this, it really was just a bad situation at work. I never took it, quit my job and feel totally fine now. Now I would love to take a few years off of my career and drive. Here is my concern, would this prescription cause me to fail? If so, how long would it be before I could retake the test?
