F.I. PARKER, Circuit Judge.

J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. chose not to employ over-the-road truck drivers who used prescription medications with side effects that might impair driving ability. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission argued that under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Hunt’s decision violated the rights of job applicants using those medications. We disagree.
