Actually CRE recruiters are told due to HIPPA they cannot get involved with applicants medical history. If you tell them you are on any meds they are supposed to give you the number to the clinic so you can talk to medical personnel yourself. Which if you're booked to come in the clinic can make a note in your file of whom you spoke to so you don't have to repeat again your medical history especially if you've received an okay from clinic staff. Clinic staff then sends an email to your recruiter telling them if you were approved or not approved. Plus, there are certain meds that CRE does or usually does not allow that may be perfectly okay with other trucking companies.
