    Yep. Sounds like Prime......

    btw.... I tried getting in Prime with a 25 over in a 65 and was told to come back in a year (making that ticket three years older). Criteria is general and inviting. Once you begin courting they get intimate and pickey. They may say a limited number of tickets in a period but mean a little something else.

    Another btw...... Some states keep DUI's on your record forever. I believe Kentucky, NY and California are a few. I was DUI in 1984 that shows up in KY. Moral of the story - be completely honest.

    I highly encourage you to keep smoking weed. Less competition for jobs out there.

    Are you serious? Many, if not most companies out there do drug testing. Didn't you know that?

    Ok, what company is that? PPL?

    Once again, did you not know that most companies today do drug testing? Even janitors have to submit to drug screening.

    Same thing as prime. I had to pay $100 up front just for them to turn around and give me $240 back friday. I dont understand it but whatever i paid it and got my license and hit the road running.

    then why do folks who have recently partaken of drugs try to get a job in an industry that does drug testing? That's what I'm scratching my head over.

    You need to do whatever you have to do to not ever fail a pre-employment drug test. In the trucking business, that failure stays on your record which is checked by every trucking company.

    I looked at his profile and it seems like this may be an effort to do a little marketing... If I am wrong I apologize up front but this just sounds funny after looking at my mans profile page, just say'n.
