2 booted from school

I don't care how weed will effect driving.
It is illegal, and there is no way to test for what the level is in the body to know if the driver is impaired at that time.
SO it will never be legal for drivers of commercial trucks. Even if it became legal to buy it and smoke it for the rest of the population.
It will never be legal for drivers.

At this point alcohol still is legal. But how many OTR drivers drink while on the road? One out of 15?
I know it is not many. No time, and we all know it is not a good thing to do.

 

i know more then you would ever imagine.......

if you took the time to READ my posting, you would have seen these (" ") known as quotation marks......for emphasis purposes only.

do not try to advocate for smoking dope....

 

I would much rather have a drivers on My Roads smoking pot than drinking They can BOTH stay the HE## off the roads I use.

Nothing like seeing 3 dead kids in whats left of a TRANS AM and the POT HEAD driver ( self admitted being STONED ) who survived trying to explain his RH turn onto a road that did not exsist at 80 MPH.

 

... ....wait, your school helped you get your permit? I just re-read that...lol.

Lord I wish they helped me get mine....I had to get all the tests done within a week before starting on my own, and I am getting every endorsement available.

 

i've seriously got no problem with what people do on their own time. wanna do a few lines of coke? whats it matter. if you show up sober for work and dont f things up it shouldnt make a difference. just because someone likes to use drugs doesnt mean they dont have self control. someone who turns into a alcoholic or drug addict has far more problems then the substance's. having grown up in an alcoholic house and lost my dad at a very early age as a result from his drinking, the drugs and alcohol are just a small part of the equation.

 

i dont take them when i'm working at all. the doctors told me dont drive while i'm on them, dont operate any machinery. i know full well how they affect me, i know i can operate a truck on a vicodin or two just fine, but i wouldnt do it. personally if i am in so much pain that i need a vicodin or anything stronger just to get threw the day i wouldnt go to work anyway. but if i can take say a 800mg ib prufen and tough it out till i get home, then i'll do that and take the opiates when i'm home so i can relax fully in my house.

 

yeah of course a prehire, but in massachusetts there was a HUGE thing with the fire fighters unions. the state was saying they should be random drug tested, the unions said "no way, not unless you give us a raise" and the last i heard was they were getting a 18% pay increase and it was going to be retroactive because when this debate originally started it went into arbitration. that is absolutely ridiculous. i'm not sure about the law enforcement drug testing but i would bet money it's the same. no random test's.

 

i most certainly agree it's kind of like "are you really that stupid?" we had a guy at my work, somehow he didnt do a prehire drug test so he went for one, failed the test i think for weed. really nice guy, seemed like he was in a rut in life. looked like his girlfriend or wife was dropping him off in what looked like a 1989 nissan piece of crap. it could of been a piece of crap SE but i'm not sure

i still felt bad for him, but theres not much you can do.
