    Look into excavating and paving company's. The smaller mom and pop outfits. The last 2 excavating company's i drove for (lowboy/dump truck) Didn't even drug test me or anything. They dont have a clue about DOT rules and guidelines. They are too busy making money doing the dirt work they dont care about the trucks or DOT.

    With that record and everything being so recent. I am 99.9% sure most OTR companys will not even look at you. BTW if it was your friends pot in your car or whatever i would be getting ready to beat azz.

    You should have fought it first of all secondly with that record you have no business in big truck! No contest is still a conviction basically and you are untouchable by most companies probably 95% or better of them. You need to grow up before driving a big truck!!!

    I may be blunt, but those are feelings on the topic!

    You're joking, right? This an early April Fools joke? 2 convictions of possession, a resisting, having your license suspended, running a red light and speeding over 65mph?

    Where's Alan Funt and the hidden cameras?

    If I were you, I'd flat-out give up the idea of driving a truck for a minimum of 10 more years MINIMUM, and that's only if you learn to get your sh^t straightened out and stop acting like a 16yr old spoiled brat.

    I am very sorry that the school did not tell you that even without the latest charge of Possession in 2011, you are still a very bad risk. Possession of marijuana in 2004 alone is enough to keep you out of the majority of companies anymore. More and more of them are going over to "NO DUI, NO DRUGS, NO FELONIES, EVER", which means you don't have a chance with the majority of them as of 2004. Much less the most recent of them. Even the ones that would hire you with that will look at the "resisting an officer" and go no further. My guess is that you had no thoughts of driving a commercial vehicle back when you were building this record up. You might try heavy equipment operator, but they may also have requirements. However, most bulldozers do not travel as fast as a truck, and they don't weigh as much. Might just have a chance there. Depends on how deep insurance companies have gotten into that field.

    This guy should definitely be thinking Arby's. They hire all the crackheads. McDonald's has higher standards.

    This discussion didn't need to go beyond Roadmaster refunding your deposit. In the training business, I would call that a death warrant.

    If you can clean toilets with a smile, try applying at a truck stop. That's as close as you're going to get for a long, long time.

    Before I actually drove, I did dock work/warehouse work, loading unloading trucks, also did some part time pressure washing for some local LTL companies, that's something to look into too..

    Well trucking is going to be a problem right now but maybe you are just misunderstood? Perhaps you have tiger blood and adonis DNA? Ever done any acting?

    Our neighbor company that runs roll-offs and dumps hires felons who have served time in the Federal Pen but seeing that your in FL and we are in VA, won't do you much good. They have a driver currently that served several years in the Fed Pen for drugs and money laundering.

    Guess you didn't hear about the 2 guys at Micky-D's that were adding POT to the bergers.
    Then again, maybe that's the reason for the higher standards.

    Burger flipper...
    It's funny how we get these folks with a rap list as long as your arm, looking to drive a truck. Why didn't they take that approach years ago, before they did whatever they did..
