Inquiry about starter companies

if you check my quoting of his, my quoting of his was COMPLETE at the time he posted it. now he "added" an update to that..

(HE NEVER MENTIONED the illegal use of prescribed drugs, so he is therefore, a liar)

sorry, but i cannot believe him now, he's back-tracking and trying to cover up.

 

No worries, didn't realize he'd edited it.

As for reading comprehension...the OP was worried about a hair test. Proves he KNOWS he did something wrong and stupid. Now he says it was unprescribed pain pills. Um.......how's it go? If you gotta ask....

 

A few of the mega-carriers do hair follicle testing. Thing is its really not kosher to ask a recruiter that question, kinda throws a red flag up from the get go.

Staying out for long periods of time is not going to be a problem with any carrier. Arranging home time for a driver is a big pain the butt for dispatchers so you will definitely be loved for that. Hell you can live in the truck and have no home if you want. Its good to take a break and get out of the truck though after a few months straight of being in a truck. You can just get a hotel room or take a small mini-vacation wherever you want in the entire country! Take a few days, rent a car, do some sight seeing, etc... Reset your clock every once and awhile! You can get burned out going non-stop out there.

Good luck man....

 

Is going back three years for an accident excessive? How about three years for a ticket? Seven years for a felony? Ten years before a DUI?

You know what the difference between you and someone with a misdemeanor drug possession conviction? They got caught. That's it, they got caught. Being caught and convicted is ground for disqualification from many companies. You were lucky not to be and think that makes it just a minor infraction. Nobody is acting like you are a hopeless dopehead, we are acting like your judgement is rather suspect.

I had some indiscretions in my mispent youth, I think most of us have, but we eventually outgrow them. I am not sure four months constitutes putting it all behind you. I for one would prefer that every company did hair follicle testing to keep at risk people off the road. That is a dangerous piece of equipment you will be driving and you need to be clean and sober to protect not only yourself, but other truckers and the motoring public in general.

 

Yes , it IS home of the free. If you aren't happy here you are free to pack up and go to a country more to your liking.

 

you "re-edited" posting number 5, in which when i quoted you, you did NOT mention the illegal drug usage. you went back, edited that posting (number 5).

this makes you a liar at the very least regarding your past drug usage and looking for a way out of additional drug testing.

again, good luck to you, but you will soon be caught. because you will always be "back-tracking" in anything you do.

 

Doesn't matter if it was once or every day, you have admitted to taking a drug without a prescription and that is illegal drug use. We don't look kindly on that kind of thing around here.

 

Why would you pick Werner if you have your tanker and doubles? Read some of the threads about them. You can probably do better, and it might be worth waiting for 2 weeks for you to get another pre-hire. I'd go with Swift before Werner, honestly. And I'd go with Schneider before either of them. And a hair follicle test will test your hair. Shave your head. Nothing to worry about.

But you'd better cut out your drug habits. You won't last very long in this business, and it sucks having to get all your stuff onto a Greyhound bus for a week-long ride home after you've been fired.
