Last week, I failed a random drug test because some bozo friends of mine (former friends, I might add) gave me some pot brownies without telling me about the pot! This is the first time I have ever failed a whiz quiz in my life, and I did pass a random in late Sept., but I'm sure it's the one I failed that trucking companies will remember. 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. My question is, what can I do to clear my name with prospective employers? Is there a process I can go thru to be able to drive class A in the future? Would going to a S.A.P. (even though I never do drugs) clear my DAC? I need some advice! Please help!

And in how many forums are you going to place this??? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Just these two. I would really like to talk to someone who can give me some sage advice, assuming that my situation can improve at all.

If i remember right, your done until you go through a S.A.P. There are companies out there that will hire you afterwards but they are hard to find.

:roll: :roll: :roll: This goes in the "UH HUH" section filed under "SUUUURRRREEEEEE"


I have some sound advice

Quit eating brownies and get new friends.

you didnt know these so called friends did drugs

Thats right, supertrucker. I had no idea they did drugs. I've been friends with them for 12 years and to my knowledge they had never taken drugs, but apparently started to do so just recently. As for the other comment, I expect to be met with scepticism. I'm sure lots of people will assume the same thing he did, but those people are easy to ignore. I am left with trying to salvage a career in driving. I thought this website might be a good place to get some advice on what I need to do next. By the way, does anyone know what, exactly, DAC stands for?

Wow, are you screwed. Every application you fill out for a driver position is going to ask if you've ever failed a DOT random. You will now have to answer yes plus it's on your DAC. I'm not sure what SAP will do for you in the short term. As far as having your friends testify for you, that will hold no water as far as an employer is concerned. Best option is to apply to every company you can and hope for the best. Keep us posted and good luck to you.

supertrucker is a term used for the amount of post you have on the forum nothing more. I am just a hardworking driver. You just have to explain to potential employers what happened and try for the smaller companies. Keep trying keep a positive attitude and see what happens.

try swift i hear they got alot of pot heads driving there
