    I think you should wait 60-90 days (Smoking pot) then go to a good accredited school with at leas 160-170 hrs. I recommend either a Sage or company school.
    If you go through the 50 hr school get rehired letters from companies that will hire you.

    Only Urine.

    I’m not a recruiter but I believe we’d take him. He’d do two driving tests and a backing test if he came to Bloomington, and then would probably go out with a trainer for +/-200 hours to train

    Will they provide a rehired letter if graduates from that school?
    I'm not sure Western Express is a big endorsements.

    Western Express & 50 hr. school is probably a good choice then; nice trucks also.
    Can wait a year to ensure you pass a hair follicle test or just do the 50 hr. course and go with Western Express.

    Take another month at least since you smoked marijuana which was not real bright.

    The correct question that the op should be asking is "Which companies don't do random testing?"

    When he hears the answer, he will either never smoke again, or never waste the time and money getting a CDL.

    I'm flexible with either outcome.

    I've decided to just wait two months, and after that I will look for a reputable paid CDL training company with a 1 year contract. I'm just going to commit to going OTR. I would like to go with a regional company. I'm in Texas. Random drug tests are a non issue for me, however I need to start with a company that will not hair follicle test. Any recommendations on this type of company/paid training? I know my first year will be tough no matter who I go with, but I would like to narrow my options based on feedback. I know there are some super shady ones out there that couldn't care less as bout newbies. Thanks again.

    If you're willing to gamble, just go with Stevens Transport or Prime Inc. company cdl school.
