Got a snag looking for my first driving job.

I went through school for driving and got good grades. I have a good driving record with no wrecks or duis. They trouble im having is that as a teen through my early 20's i endulged in marijuana. Had a minor possesion charge in the late 90's and paid a hundred dollar fine. My biggest hurdel seems to be the fact that I failed a non dot pre employment drug screen 12 years or so ago. Im 34 now and have passed the last dozen tests ive had to take through work and school. I havent even been around pot for years, that part of my life is over. Is the test I failed something that an employer can look up? Is this something I should just forget to mention? Is this something that will haunt me forever? And lastly, Im looking to stay reginal and be home weekly or close to it. Anyone aware of a company that would give me a shot at an opportunity like that and overlook something dumb I did as a youngster?

Thanks in advance.

 

I think it more the failed drug screen. same thing? can they look it up if i forget to mention it?

 

I think thats my new strategy. Now to find companys i havent applied to already! Thank you both.

 

Ive actually been told by 3 companies I was disqualified for the failed ua. It was so long ago, and I have passed many since. I had hoped it would be a non issue, but that doesnt seem to be the case.
