@DaveOJ unfortunately CBD is not well regulated, and therefore when a manufacturer claims zero THC, which is the illegal substance tested for, they don't really have to prove it. They only need one batch, one time, to test at less than 0.03% THC, which also happens to be the cutoff threshold for a positive DOT drug screen. Sucks, but it is well known that those CBD products risk your career.

@Pepper24 As for the pre-employment at the CDL school, they are required to conduct pre-employment drug tests before letting you operate a CDL required vehicle on public roads. All reputable schools do the same thing. They have to treat you the same as any driver that would be hired by a regular trucking company.

Now, as for them reporting the positive test result to the Clearinghouse, did you already have your commercia learner's permit when you were tested or was the drug test prior to you obtaining your permit? Until you have a valid CLP, meaning you passed the knowledge exams and have the permit authorizing yo uto practice driving on the range and road, they cannot give you a DOT regulated drug test, and cannot report the results. If you had a CLP, then yes, they are required to report the results.

At TDI you are given the drug test after you pass the knowledge test. So I had my CLP prior to the test. Sorry to be redundant.

I figured you did, but just double checking. I have seen schools screw this up and administer a DOT test on day 1, before students actually have a permit. It may have been a way out of the RTD process for you. That's all.

Understood, thanks for thinking outside the box.
