    I just got a message from USX saying

    “You were terminated from Schneider due to company policy violation. Can you also explain on that as soon as possible please?”

    what should I say so I can still get the job?for context…I went to Schneider for orientation and failed the hair follicle test, but pass the urine test. (It was a false positive) and now it's still a problem for me when I'm trying to get another job what should I say?

    I went to orientation and after finding more out about the job i decided it wasn’t for me and left. I don’t know why they say i was let go. I quit if anything, really i never worked there as i didn’t even take a road test or collect a pay check

    If you tell the truth, you won't be hired.
    Say you were smoking near the fuel island, but just walking by it, not fueling.
    Youi may have to go with a 1099 outfit out of Chicago.

    "I was never hired at Schneider". I went to orientation, and was released from there.

    Lying on an application is a firing offense at every trucking company I know about. I'd not answer and apply elsewhere.

    If I were innocent, I’d have wanted a retest, infront of me seeing it was indeed mine they were testing.
    Used to they took samples and sent you back in classroom

    I 2nd this one. If you never made it out of orientation, you need to follow this advice. USX wants you to hang yourself. You need to make sure Schneider didn't stain your DAC.
