    No it's not. Don't be a scumbag and it's easy. Too many people act like morons their entire lives and then expect to be truck drivers. It doesn't work that way.

    Contact a lawyer in your area that specializes in ticket problems. If none, then Google : Ticket Clinic

    Wrong industry to be in if you are going to drink and drive or do drugs and drive and the public is going to have to be protected...Good luck to all

    Let's put it this way. You smoke a joint on Friday night. You stay clean for 4 weeks. You are driving along one night and mr drunk driver crackhead crosses the center line. You hit him head on and kill him in an accident. They piss test you and you test positive. You go down for DUI in a commercial vehicle , a felony , along with a vehicular manslaughter charge. Since you tested positive , you are entirely responsible--and guilty of murder basically. MURDER. not vehicular manslaughter. Your life as you know it is over.

    That's an understatement #### when I used to work for CR E out of Fontana, they alone used to pump them out at about a hundred a week just at they're one facility that's not including the rest of they're training facilities.
    I'd say they're about a hundred thousand drivers pumped out a week nation wide.

    I've heard there gonna increase the panel drug test to include bath salts and spice.

    Find it weird they do not test for tramadol that stuff is just as strong as vicodin.

    I guarantee, if you haven't smoked bud in months, than smoke a fat bud on friday, you will NOT test positive for Maryjane, 4 weeks later..lmbo Even if you are an avid smoker and quit on friday, the odds of you failing a "smoke" test are slim, after 4 weeks. Not out of the question, but slim.
