    Passed my driver test last friday and Just got stamped on my license this Tuesday. Now, I'm not too picky on where I should start. My number one option as of now is TMC because I like their percentage based load pay. Now I do have some preferences, such as I would love to work for A NO TOUCH FREIGHT company but it ultimately doesn't matter. The only thing that I AM looking for is companies that do not hair follicle test. When I decided that I was going to be a truck driver a month ago and a half ago, I put down the weed once and for all before I started. But, the test goes back 90 days. Now, I am already aware that TMC doesn't hair follicle. With that being said, where did some of you start?

    Also i am in the southern Louisiana region. Living in New Orleans to be exact.

    My top choice was Line Haul for Old Dominion. $100k a year, no touch freight and home daily sounds good to me. Maybe they are hiring new drivers in your area. Not sure about the drug testing there. Good luck!

    After you get the job you can relax in your sleeper with a doobie.

    I HIGHLY recommend CR England. No fossil test and you’ll be driving like a BOSS!

    Thankfully I hate marijuana. I don't understand the appeal at all. What a horrible feeling!
