The only help I asked for was information about a job. Most of you missed that.

I hate to say it but I know or have known many drivers over the years who were involved in illegal things such as drug use. For the most part, they're all still driving. One I know is an owner with 4 trucks. Proof perfect that life isn't always fair. I have done everything that I can do in...

You,re right except I was in apublic place(a bar) and there was talk of such things but not directly to me.

Thank you! Someone finally sees what I,m trying to get across.

I'm just trying to get across to everyone that I don't know what happened. All of us are subject to this sytem and mistakes do happen.

To help clear this up for you. I do take full responsibility. I entered myself in the DOT second chance return to work program. Whether you've heard of it or not, it exists. I paid a man to manage this for me, I also paid for counseling/rehab. I have been CLEARED TO DRIVE any commercial vehicle...

A job,what else?

Wow dodged a bullet. Just know that I make no excuses foe what happened. AS far as the system is concerned, I did it,end of story. However it is interesting to note that the false test result rate is 8 percent. Mostly due to contaminated lab equipment. Remember,humans work there too. HMMMMM

workin on it

The truth is ,I don,t do things like that. I JUST LET MY GUARD DOWN. The reason I,m talking about this so openly is that maybe someone else can learn from my foolishness. I just don,t understand the soapbox posistion. We are all vulnerable to the human condition. DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. Other...

Just curious, how many of those great rules and regulations do YOU break INTENTIONALLY, everyday.mmmmm HOS maybe? backlogging? All of these thing and more are done by most of us at some time or another and all in the name of getting the job done or some other reason that we considered to be OK...

How many of thoses rules and regs do you intentionally break every day?

True enough, The only thing on my side is that I went out of pocket to prove that I,m not some kind of "druggie". The question now is did I throw my money out the window or will this really help me at some point in the future?

Amen to that. I was among a large group of old "friends" and aquaintances. Many who probobly don't understand the strict guidelines attached to safety senistive jobs such as ours. No one has fessed up to spiking my drinks, so I have to assume that I may have done in my "wrong" mind, something I...

Thanks to all of you for your responses. I know I did a stupid thing. I don't really need anyone to tell me that. I only put my story on the post to see if anyone had similiar experinces and might offer a little advice or offer a solution. Believe me friends, I'm beating myself up over this with...

Yes it was pre-employment. Does it matter?

Yes, I was driving for A Blair Enterprises and they have offered to take me back, but no trucks available ust now. Thanks

Thanks Rev Hall. The problem really is finding these companies. There are nearly 100,000 registered trucking companies in the U.S. alone.The task of finding one who will hire me is almost impossible. I have been making calls for ten days now since being released to work and have not gotten one...

Just to clarify, I'm not really a drinker. I'm pretty much a 3-4 beers and I'm done kind-of-guy. On this particular time, I drank way more than I'm used to, Shots ,beers and I don't know what. I basically blacked out for a period of time but my brother took me home and I was in bed by midnight...

nope, nope, nope, wouldn't do it. Thw problem is not with any certain co but with the bussiness in general. NO ONE can guarantee miles or money. My advice to you is try driving for an owner-operator and see if it looks like a possibility for profit. Yhe atmosphere is very volitile. A last count...
