I Feel Your Pain

I have been driving for 15 months I have a girlfriend that set me up because I would not support her habbit. I made basicly the same mistake. This was a pre employment drug test also. It is on my DAC My MVR I asked for the split test and never recieved any other information. I have talked to many companies and the answer is the same. I am going through a SAP program. It is going to cost me alot of money and the sad thing is is that I still probably won't beable to drive. I have been told that after three years they can not report it anymore. As for me I screwed up. I will pay out the money and keep on trying to prove that I am a safe and responsible driver. Good luck to you. You are not allowed to drive a commercial vehicle until u complete a SAP

EVery post there is a comment made. This guy acts like he knows what to do, I don't know why he doesn't do it. If you think that you can get a lawyer than get a lawyer and beat it. If you think that you can do that than you are wasting your time on here! If you completed the SAP and are confident that that is all you need to do to be legal to drive again than put some applications in and see what happens.

I do have personal feelings on this but this isn't the place for those.

we reep what we sow

I am doing what DOT regulations say I have to do to drive a CV again.It is going to cost me a lot of money. Expect to drive again? Probabably no time soon. The company I failed for is on my DAC and I was never employed by them either. So don't fool yourself. It took about 2 weeks for them to report to USIS. However, if the company you went to isn't on the DAC or if you never recieved a call from a medical officer. Then u probably got away with one. If this is the case it is sad because drivers like us reep what we sow and should not be allowed on the road until we can prove that we are safe and sober drivers.

I agree

You are correct ohnoo, they do put it in there and they also will make sure that it goes on your MVR on your MVR it comes up as dac report serial# and identification# so the dot can see if you completed a sap and also puts up the red flag for potential employers. So chef it's not just the dac you need to worry about.

re post

The problem is if you were to get a job and you met some hotty on the road, would be susectible to using again then go drive in 12 hrs......become a dispatcher at least you can drink a cup of coffee and sit behind a computer all day , or look into Managing a Hotel until you have other options...


p.s. look at the instuctions on the drug novicane see if it tells you when you you should be able to operate heavy equip afterwards, follow those guidlines...


No your not a loser, Obama smoked crack, look where he is now....best of luck
