I have a friend that drove truck he was a owner/operator. I went to get a cdl permit and I was going to learn to drive with him .in my state I needed to have my dot card in order to obtain my permit so I went and had my physical and drug test done naturally I had to pay out of pocket.I'm a big guy 6'2 275lbs. when I took my drug test I failed I haven't smoke in 3 months but was a regular smoker for a while now I don't anymore.The mro said because of my size it would take longer to get out of my system.Here's the kicker they have 2 cards they give one is a temp good for 10 days until they get the test results back and the other is the permenant one they give when everything checks out o.k. they gave me the permenant laminated one by mistake.So technically I guess I have my dot card now.My buddy lost his license do to back childsupport and i'm thinking about going to a school to drive I just want to know if I should have to go to the same place for the school's drug test can the medical center tell the school about my test sense I paid for it.I read on other boards that they can't tell the school because I paid for it and that's something they can't share without written permission.any info on this situation would be helpful.btw if I do go to the same clinic do you think it will be supervised.thanks in advance for your replies.

when I applied to the school I told them that I was slightly color blind and they told me that before I sign their contract to go and take my physical so I wouldn't have to pay back the loan if I were to color blind and unable to get a cdl.And why would it be stupid for me to use the card it was their mistake I paid for it and the mro said in his eye's it was no good but he said if I were to use it his hands were tied because I did pay for it and he can't really say to much about it.

REMEMBER THIS IS JMO here but, you have been given the wrong card, so the right thing to do is to turn it in, secondly, you did not pass a drug test so given your drug history and the fact that you are openly considering using a card that was given to you in error, I really would'nt want you to become a driver, how many other things are you going to do that are just WORNG?
I am not saying this to cause a flame situation but to express JMO, being responsible for a big rig is much more important than saying hey guys you goofed lets fix this paper work............ -
But the simple fact is my family and million's of other's family's travel the road every day.. it will be alot easyer to say good bye to my girlfriend in the moarning nowing you are not on the road... it is ARE RESPONSABILTY AS PRO. DRIVER TO ENSURE THE SAFTY OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC.
I am sorry i just think you should waite........ -
I dont care if I hurt your feelings or not...........THC is stored in your fat cells....A person with a low percentage of body fat will store it for around 30 days.......at 275 pounds you have a high percentage of fat cells.....you may carry it for years......
That being said, with THC in your system, you have no business driving anything much less a big truck.......Test clean and that is a different story....
Now lets look at your ethics....they suck....you are the type of person who refuses to take responsibility for your actions.
You should work on being a better person while you're cleaning your act up....a guy like you will probably only stop smoking long enough to get a clean test anyway.
This industry already has enough druggies and morons in it...........why would any of us want you? -
easy now grandpa I would feel bad if I set off your pacemaker:smt081besides i've had alot of feed back on this board and only heard of one moron btw you came far from hurting my feelings
