soo i f'd up
i started my schooling in the beggining of aug and finished middle of sept i had a job lined up with a big company afterwards .. so i went to do the drivers app and i ended up doing drive test + drug screen
passed everything but failed the drug screen
(i quit smoking weed end of july when i found out i got accepted to do the schooling)
so knowing i failed i was told i had to do some sort of sap program which i had to pay money for to see a drug counselor and i had to goto n/a meeting ... and i only did it because everyone i would talk to on the phone after failing the drug test said its the only way anyone would ever hire me after that ... which is totally understandable but like i said i did the program and i did everything and at the end of it the counselor told me that everything would be off my record because i finished the program and she dosnt think im addicted ... stupid i know... but at the same time i was never told i had to do another drug test of any kind to make sure .. just yesterday i got a call from another high end company and they gave me a interview i took it upon myself to let them know what happend because they were far away from where i lived and didnt wana drive there for them to tell me know so obviously i told them everything and that i also completed the sap program but STILL they said they couldnt hire me because of the drug test yet i did this stupid course that i had to pay money for and was told it was off my record...
so my question is
if i goto another company should i just not say anything about it since its "off my record" or was telling them the right thing. was the sap course a waste of money or does it do what it is soppose to.. PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE i mean i want to work im curretly a heavy tow operator but i really want to do long runs .. i have no idea what to do and noone seems to want to help me with anything

The info above is most likely so true, even in Canada; the only thing you can do is try a company close to you and see if you get rejected just in case it doesn't go against your record. Guess the company you were trying out for won't still take you. I don't know how prevelent it is yet, but some companies I guess are using the hair follicle test which will go back even further for dope use.
