I just got my CDL back In June of '15. I drove for a while over the road then came home. I obtained a dockworking job. They had a random drug test. Not sure about other companies, but at this job they didn't include dockworkers. Because I have a CDL, they put me in the pool. I failed. Do u feel it's right that they still put me in the pool, even though I don't drive for them? Is my driving career over because of this? I'm kinda lost at this point. Please help
- Thanks
Am I done??

I would ask your current company for help with your drug problem, concede you have an issue and get some help. Tell them you appreciate their employment and would like another chance. The fact that they hire drivers and have drug screen consortium tells me they would have a drug rehabilitation program that would meet the FMCSA and insurance company standards.
If you ever want to be a professional, responsible, commercial driver you have a problem, so get some help and maybe keep your current job. -

Was it a DOT drug test? Do you know if they reported it? Slim chance it doesn't even show.

Western express will hire anybody....
they prefer people nobody else will hire so they can pay you bottom feeder pay.
But since you caused your own problem this is what you are left with....

Are you in a union? When I was in a UAW job, a guy showed up smelling of bourbon and tested positive but didn't get fired because the union pulled some strings and the test results "dissappeared".
Canned Spam Thanks this.
