Penalized for being honest.. Dot physical

Thanks Zvar.

 

@TexasHoney
In trucking, never reveal anything, unless at gunpoint.
Many drivers have been on this forum that sabotaged their trucking career by talking too much.

 

Yeah China this goes the other way, drivers have a tendency not to tell about important things.

 

Scar you was exactly right. Two different situation. It is now a month later and God helped me through this situation and I didn't have to lie. Here is what happened, I called around until this one lady answered at this one clinic and she said, "I know this situation, here is what we do, we drug test you on the spot and if you are clean then we can continue with the physical..." So that's what happened. I passed the drug test and got certified. The name of the clinic was TexasDotServices.com and they got offices in Fort Worth and Dallas, I went to the one in Dallas off of Royal Lane close to 35, the people were kind and professional, it only took about an hour and the price was only 70 dollars. So thanks to the Lord Jesus for helping navigate through this and actually today I passed all the test and got my permit today, now i need to figure out how I am going to pay to rent a truck while I continue to work for Target Temporary in west Dallas. Any company that might hire me with a permit as a doc worker or something or maybe put me with a trainer or in school? Anyhow thanks

 

Zvar not Scar sorry for the typo

You may still have a problem when you apply to a trucking company, if your physical long form shows you've failed a drug test in the past. Pray it's not on the form. It's getting more and more difficult to find companies that hire SAP graduates.

 

He never failed a drug test. He's put on his medical form that he took drugs in the last 2 years, you know answering honestly.

 

That's somewhat better, but some companies won't hire a driver even for that.
Shouldn't have admitted to anything.
Could still be a problem, but I hope not.
A few drivers on this forum have said they were sent home for admitting they've ever used weed.
