Friend needs help..

he wasn't in his tractor trailer was he when he refused?

 

Refusal for a drug\alcohol test can't be good thing!

 

Went to school with a guy...he ran into some BIG trouble after being on the road for over a year...after jail he got on with a dump truck company no problem.

 

How long ago was it?

 

Tell him it's possible....but it will be an up-hill battle for him. Lots of folks have the mind-set that it should be a non-starter in trucking ( myself included)..but there are places that will hire him. Just be sure and let him know just how hard it will be moving forward , and that his chances of getting hired at a really good company are sort of slim. Let him know that he needs to ask around 1st before laying out a good bit of cash or going into debt for schooling that will not do him any good. Lots of recruiters will paint him a lovely picture , knowing all along that he will not have a chance of finding work. Schools too will do the same....have him contact a few companies and find out for himself 1st then move forward if he can...

 

awe ok, if this did not happen in the county he lives in he had nothing 2 worry about if he wasn't charged dac only look in the counties he lived in if he lived in present county less than 3 years they will look in his previous address county but if there is any doubt he needs 2 go 2 district court and get a copy of his record and if the incident happen in different county go there when I got my history it cost me $5 that way if it's not on there he don't have 2 bring it up job hunting

 

Just how long ago did this prior refusal happen?

 

Not bring up a a refusal to take an alcohol test and a jail term served....I'm sorry but missjhawk..if you don't know what you're commenting about just don't give advice.....telling the man to not come clean when job hunting is the worst......
