    so i've been in class for 8 days ( 160 course) last week we jammed for the permit test ( i passed ) and we all had to get our D.O.T. health cards.
    well yesterday after lunch the instructor told 2 students to go see the adminerstrador , and then they where gone, seems they had pot in the drug test.

    real bummer these where nice family guy's.

    Watch out for rumors. You don't know what the reason was. Guys get dropped for lots of stuff. Sometimes a room full of truckers is like a 5th grade class.

    or like a "beauty parlor" with a bunch of old hens....!! anything is possible, maybe the money they owe, maybe poor grades, maybe the drugs.....who knows, but this DOES happen and sometimes we can be thankful it does. IF, and i do say IF it WAS drugs related, then good riddance, family men or not, they should have known better. I wouldn't feel sorry for anyone that gets kicked out of ANY school. better it happen now then driving a guided missile down the highways.

    Maye the instructors said it was for pot, but there could have been other reasons. Or maybe to scare the rest of you.

    My employer had an applicant who failed the pre-hire drug test for pot. They told him to try again in 30 days. He came back and failed again. He said he was in a room where someone else was smoking pot.

    you know, i had done some researching on the web at various medical websites and from what i have been reading, there isn't much chance that second hand smoke from pot is possible.....for a person to test positive.

    so i'd highly suspect he wasn't too concerned about getting a job.

    Ahh yes, the old 2nd hand smoke explanation...is not true and never will be!!! :biggrin_2559: Darwin does keep a few drivers off the road and safer for the rest of us that drive unimpaired.


    The only way to get enough pot smoke into your lungs from 2nd hand smoke is to be in a phone booth with 5 guys puffing away....so I suppose that is what he was doing....:biggrin_2559: That is what my MRO told me.

    I had a college applicant once fail his test, and he told his mom that he was in a room playing cards with some guys smoking pot....so she called me and told me that.....and I told her I would sell her the 18th street bridge for $100.:biggrin_2559:

    I am glad to see another druggie bites the dust so we have one less impaired driver on the road driving an 80,000 pound semi down the road and across the median into a mini van full of kids. :biggrin_2558:
