Regarding your actions:
Im pretty sure the murderers, Drugies, Thieves, psychopaths, pedophiles, would say the same thing, they are sincerely sorry for their actions and would do anything possible to get their life back --- Anything. They just aren't posting on these forums.

A technicality? I agree it sounds like you have one in this case, Regardless might not hold up because of your actions. No one wants to put Druggie and Truck driver in the same sentence. Anyone that hears these 2 words will run. Also has to deal with the environment around you by you have to be surrounded by certain people to be able to get these drugs - No one wants to be affiliated with that especially a trucking company.

Your situation: (This is my opinion)
Similar to planning to hire a hit man to murder someone you know even it it never goes through and saying you are not guilty because it technically never happened. The act of even attempting (Doing drugs) being convicted (Drug test) and the murder not happening (You not being hired) will get you in lots of trouble.


What if the drug wasn't detected in the tests, you wouldn't be here posting and even thinking twice of your actions. Chances are greater that you would do the drug between driving because there were no consequences to you at all. It might even reinforce you because it did not show up on test as you expected it to.



P.S:
Reading some of your posts i wonder if your still on Cocaine?


Good Luck.

I do apologize to THOSE who think that I am "rambling", "incoherant rant", [nice try at spelling those BIG words "MXH", its actually spelled--incoherEnt, gee go figure why you could not understand?], and "borderline illiterate". This is your opinion and I thank you for posting. I have made a terrible error and I am on my way to seeking to correct it. I was merely trying to find out if the technicality of actually being employed would be my way to speeding up the hiring process, as I WILL be employed eventually. I am the only person to blame for MY mistake and I am the only person who is going to pull myself up and right my wrongs. I am not just looking for the "easy way out", I am only trying to be as efficient as I can. I understand that I am an easy target for people to ridicule me, as I have made such a FOOLISH mistake, but I DO accept this fact and I'm trying to connect with someone who maybe has been in my situation and might have some useful information. Belive me when I say..... nobody can be as disappointed at me than myself. If anything at all, this thread could be informative for a new driver of what NOT to do after driver-school graduation.

In 7 years, any reference to your Positive drug test will drop off the DAC record. Providing you have no further episodes of "bad decision" making, you might find a job as a trucker.

BUT, what they CAN do is to put on your employment history part of the DAC, that you were an employee, and when any company that searches your DAC will see this, and can then contact that company, which in turn, they can, and will release the information regarding your positive drug test. Trust me, I have researched this, and have recieved my DAC confirming my assessment. Also the company at which the +drug test was at can only keep this record for 2 years, being that it was a pre-employment drug test. If you are an employee they can keep it and report it for 3 years. This is the reason why the companies will wait this long to employ someone who had a +drug test. The regulations are easily seen in the FMCSR concerning this subject matter, which I have studied and has led me in the direction of disputing my EMPLOYMENT history. Then if my employment history dispute on the DAC is taken off, viola....no positive drug test will be affecting my hiring. That was my ORIGINAL question which has been mostly lost in a sea of angry, condescending, and, quite frankly, uninformative posts. Long story short Roadkill,......I'll be a trucker in way less than 7 years, at the most....2. Have a good one.
