    Im working on obtaining my class A CDL and wanted to ask experienced truckers what are some good companies that hire new truckers that are starting their career with no OTR experience preferrably in the Houston, TX area or Texas period.

    Swift. Okay, let me check into that. I know that there are others. I have a 10 year old Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle felony and I know that alot of companies give you chances if its past 5-7 yrs old, so thats also part of the equation.
    Rookie with one 10 yr old foul.

    Just got off the phone with the recruiter and am positive that I will pass the criminal investigation and am about to submit my app to a SWIFT recruiter, I was wondering if they give you a drug test before they admitt you to the academy to train you to drive trucks..if so then I should wait till I clean out my system first..

    If you do drugs..........QUIT NOW......and don't start up again.


    If you're a Pot Smoker........


    Don't bother to apply to a company for 90 days or so depending how fat you are.


    More fat means the THC stays in your system longer.


    A drug bust on a random or post accident test WILL FOLLOW you throughout your
    driving career.


    Clean=Job

    Settle down dude LoL, I'm quiting for good I dont need it to live or anything. Making money earning a living and enjoying life mean more to me. Im aware of the laws and what Im required to do so all I was asking is when do they give you the drug screen before or after the academy so I know when to submit my app...I have a good idea when I'm clean LoL it'll take me roughly 3 weeks with plenty of water and sweat so it's all good .

    You come on here, an ADMITTED FELON and an ADMITTED CURRENT DRUG USER.


    Claiming you don't NEED it to live or anything.......guess what......you
    aren't fooling anybody with that line of Bull S H I T.


    And you want ME to calm down??????????


    Why don't you come back here when you're ready to be serious about this.

    seems to me that the trucking companies should pull hair for their drug tests like the railroads do.
