    I have a question on this. Would it go on my CDL record? If so, than I'm not gonna worry about any of it.

    I do not know. I would simply ignore it and try another company.

    If trucking companies in general were that stupid about their hiring policies, there would be a lot fewer drivers on the road.

    The sheer number of drivers out there who have experimented with weed at some point in their life is enormous.

    If you can pass drug tests, then you are clearly no longer a habitual user. If they are really concerned, they can require you to take a drug test every time you cone back from home time.

    Companies vary WILDLY in their hiring requirements.

    Don't give up.

    I'm not giving up. I am just gonna ride it until something comes along. I know I can pass the drug test and physical. I also know I can pass the CDL permit tests. None of that is an issue.

    This is victim mentality. Act like a victim and you’ll always be one. Why admit to drug use?

    wth is happening ? read the whole post and saw a nice progression and for sure I thought you would start driving...im sorry but if you had a rough past or did something like "hey i recently smoked weed" then keep it to yourself as much as possible, you wont get any extra reward or sound extra cool by disclosing them especially if not neccessary. matter of fact, start praticing not to mention any of that at all even to your new friends and something like that....just let it go

    I guess admitting to it is part of me being honest. Being untruthful always runs against my grain. It's how I was raised.
     
    Farmerbob1 and Truckermania Thank this.

    I will get it done somehow. I didn't disclose it to just look cool. I did it simply because being honest is how I was raised. I'm beginning to wonder if honesty is just a feel good thing cause it sure hasn't worked for me. Oh well, I'ma push through this and make it. Things happen for a reason. Who knows. There could be something around the corner that would be better than being an on the road driver. :)

    At times honesty is not always best. It’s like when you get your medical card renewed. You tell them you don’t use alcohol or tobacco even if you do. And #### sure don’t tell them you’ve done drugs ever

    Yeah. There is an old saying back home where I'm from. Don't feed the monster who can eat you in one bite. This is one of those cases. :)

    This won't go on my CDL record would it? The lady at the school said she didn't think that it would because I haven't gotten my CDL license yet.

    No but it might go on your DAC report which is just a stupid thing big companies use
