All trucking companies do hair follicle drug test or urine drug test.

It's feasible to make $80G a year WITHOUT living on the road. You just need experience.

Heavy Haul, Tankers, etc. The good paying jobs aren't suually advertised though, so they're hard to find. And usually have good steady people. Which makes it even hard to get signed on.

However, Flying J is advertising, and Walmart. One would be local. The other isn't.

 

Made 65k in my first year of trucking at Prime flatbed in 2014. Once you get a couple years of clean record, job hopping free experience, you can find a 80k+ job fairly easily. That's were I'm at now and I'm doing that on dry van. If I wanted to keep doing flatbed, there's even more money in that segment.

Like you, I went to school to do something else professionally. IT. I worked in the field for three years and my salary was 32k, 34k and 35k in those years until I made I change. Still paying those student loans every month at $760 a pop. Sucks.
