company training for cr england or knight. please help

Let me get this straight, while you were getting high, you decided you wanted to be a trucker, and went down willy nilly and did the drug test with fake pee? That's hilarious, you can't make this stuff up.

 

"....Trucking giant Swift Transportation Co. has just acquired Central Refrigerated Transportation Inc. for close to $189 million. According to the FMCSA’s website, Central Refrigerated has 2,616 power units and 2,322 drivers while Swift has 15,212 power units and 14,300 drivers. The deal will make Swift the second largest refrigerated carrier in the United States....."
I have heard that CR England does hair testing and many carriers are going to hair testing.
When you fill out an application for a carrier there will be a question for if you have ever failed a drug screen. That would include working in a Wal-mart store putting merchandise on the shelf so the Central Ref job will likely show up as a fail.

 

I had to go back and read this a 3rd time just to make sure I didn't imagine it... how much and how long before orientation did you smoke it up? was this before or after you decided to be a truck driver?

Not that any of it matters because if Central reported it you are pretty much screwed.

(2) Disqualifying offenses. The following offenses are disqualifying offenses:
(i) Driving a commercial motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
This shall include:
(A) Driving a commercial motor vehicle while the person's alcohol concentration is 0.04 percent or more;
(B) Driving under the influence of alcohol, as prescribed by State law; or
(C) Refusal to undergo such testing as is required by any State or jurisdiction in the enforcement of § 391.15(c)(2)(i) (A) or (B), or § 392.5(a)(2).
(ii) Driving a commercial motor vehicle under the influence of a 21 CFR 1308.11 Schedule I identified controlled substance, an amphetamine, a narcotic drug, a formulation of an amphetamine, or a derivative of a narcotic drug;

(3) Duration of disqualification—(i) First offenders. A driver is disqualified for 1 year after the date of conviction or forfeiture of bond or collateral if, during the 3 years preceding that date, the driver was not convicted of, or did not forfeit bond or collateral upon a charge of an offense that would disqualify the driver under the rules of this section. Exemption. The period of disqualification is 6 months if the conviction or forfeiture of bond or collateral soley concerned the transportation or possession of substances named in paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of this section.

By trying to fake a drug test it will be flagged as refusal to test. Now seeing as you were still a prehire it gets into a grey area, but don't be surprised if some BFI says sure come on down just to get kicked out of orientation.

 

He probably meant during the mentor training and every company varies on this. In my research Prime pays the best at $600 a week + .12 CPM for all miles above 5000 a week and you get a share of some of the bonuses you and your trainer make after you get your CDL and ship out and they also furnish your meals from the time you arrive. If I remember correctly Knight pays $400 a week after you get your CDL and I believe both of these hire out of California as well as Swift. I don't remember what swift pays during training but I know they do pay you after you get your CDL and go out with a trainer. There is also Driver Solutions, you have to furnish your meals with them but they are a middle man between C1 schools and a few companies like Pam, USA Truck and Schnieder and I am pretty sure they can get you on with Schnieder or USA Truck if you live in California, dunno about the rest.

 

I can't help but ask how did you plan on keeping the fake urine sample warm at the correct temp to pass for your genuine urine?

What if someone is bald?

My advice would be not ever smoke again fore you're in this field. You never know when you'll get called in for a random.

 

So how did you get caught?
