Career gone bad?

Finding a SAP took an incredible amount of time. I first called every counseler in the phone book and asked about a SAP that could help my situation for the DOT's "Return-to-Duty Process". Most did not have a clue what I was asking but I did find 1 person who did give me some information of who or where to call. I then called the DOT and they gave me a web site that had about 6 or 7 SAPs that were available. I then contacted one and he immediately got me an appointment for evaluation. Be sure that whomever you choose to be your SAP, that they are a true DOT approved provider, as there are special requirements that must be met for a drug counselor to be DOT approved/regulated. Good luck to you and let me know if you need further assistance.

 

Dealing with my actions?......I am. "Deal with the responses" that I am getting???......uh,...WHAT????...I am RESPONDING to the responses,.... that is the whole concept of the forum. If you mean to agree [deal] with the postings that are not even coming close to addressing my QUESTIONS, not their personal opinions on "drugs and truck driving", ... uh, no, I won't. I will, however, answer back to those who can ACTUALLY put their own feelings aside and ACTUALLY post something RELATIVE to my questions, not condescending. Comparing my situation to someone who ordered a murder is pretty lame....I will give you a situation that maybe you have been in. O.k......You are speeding[doing drugs], you get pulled over [positive drug test], the police did not give you a speeding ticket, just let you go [not getting hired] but still caused you a lot of grief with your wife who had told you not to speed.....UH??...does NOT make sense,.....just as YOUR comparison. ....P.S..... If you can tell just by reading a post that someone is on cocaine, I should and could honestly say that you are not on drugs, but that you are probably mentally challenged. Good luck to you.​

 

Like I have ALREADY stated;.... there is NO, once again....N-O positive drug test on my DAC. Unless you are an actual employee, the company where you had the pre-employment drug test at CANNOT put a positive drug test on your dac. BUT, what they CAN do is to put on your employment history part of the DAC, that you were an employee, and when any company that searches your DAC will see this, and can then contact that company, which in turn, they can, and will release the information regarding your positive drug test. Trust me, I have researched this, and have recieved my DAC confirming my assessment. Also the company at which the +drug test was at can only keep this record for 2 years, being that it was a pre-employment drug test. If you are an employee they can keep it and report it for 3 years. This is the reason why the companies will wait this long to employ someone who had a +drug test. The regulations are easily seen in the FMCSR concerning this subject matter, which I have studied and has led me in the direction of disputing my EMPLOYMENT history. Then if my employment history dispute on the DAC is taken off, viola....no positive drug test will be affecting my hiring. That was my ORIGINAL question which has been mostly lost in a sea of angry, condescending, and, quite frankly, uninformative posts. Long story short Roadkill,......I'll be a trucker in way less than 7 years, at the most....2. Have a good one.
