:shock: What, you mean I'm NOT a supertrucker??? :shock: Yooper, I want my money back. You told me I was good to go. :lol:

Actually I know of one company that won't sentence you to death for failing one test. It's a local one though. Long hours but good money and they usually need drivers, both dump and tanker.

I would get those friends to go with you to the new company and explain what they did to screw the pooch for ya.

Won't help one bit.

And so you will; Mainly from potential employers. I,m not having a go at you or anything, I don,t even know you. But, you have to be realistic and place yourself in an employers shoes, and then think, would I employ a driver with a drugs record? If you,re honest with yourself, you would answer no.
Who,s gonna buy a £60,000 unit, hook it up to a trailer worth thousands, possibly carrying millions of dollars worth of goods and then give the keys to someone they know nothing about other than he has narcotics in his system?
Sad truth is mate, you,re finished. For a while at least.
I feel sorry for you, I really do.
Good luck for the future :wink:

Most amusing thing about this topic: most of the manager types are hitting the cocaine, big time. Drug war indeed, haha.

kagi you think theirs something wrong with our goverment wanting commercial vehicle operators to not be useres of crack pot,alcholol while working, meth,extasy,cocaine,coke, mushrooms etcc....

I'm a bit curious as to what you are on.

Edit: This is me drunk off my ass, by the way, what exactly is your excuse?

no ones responding to your comments but me looks like an audience of 1

You said "but I'm sure it's the one I failed that trucking companies will remember." Yes that is the one they will are looking for. They are required by law to check your drug history. More on this shortly.

You said: "The people who gave me the brownies have assured me they will testify before anyone they have to that I had no idea I was eating dope and they will accept the blame." Think about this for a moment. Would you as an employer put any stock in this type of testimonial? Second point on this. What would think as an employer of someone that had friends that used drugs. And on top of that give someone food laced in drugs.

You ask: "Would going to a S.A.P." To be a driver you have to attend a S.A.P. program. Plus be tested a minimum of 12 random in the next year. The total number of test will be determined by the S.A.P. But the minimum number is 12.

If I remember you only have a class 'B' license and wanting to go over the road with a class 'A'. To be frank your chances are pretty slim. With no OTR experience plus the drug charge I don't see where there will be many companies would be interested. I'm sure their are a few but not many and most you wouldn't want to drive for any way.

With or without a DAC a company is required the research your drug history it is not an options.

My suggestion would be to forget driving for at least 10 years and find some other line of employment. I know this is not what you want to hear but in my judgment it would be the best course.

To give a little bit of where I'm coming from. I failed a drug test. Couldn't pee and didn't wait the required time so I was declared positive. BTW I had taken the random test 6 days before and passed. I went through the S.A.P. program (cost me $600). Still couldn't find a decent company to drive for and I had years of driving experience and owned my own truck. I did find a company to lease on with but wish I hadn't. The guy was worthless and I ended up loosing over $8000.

Like I said I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear but if I was you I'd learn a new trade and forget driving.
