    that will all depend, is it the only negative test you have had? and what was it that poped up on the test? if you have a clean DAC other then that negative UI, yer driving record is clean and you can pass a drug test now the best thing to do is apply for a company as see what happens. my suggestion would be to try and apply with a smaller company, larger companys like Shneider, swift, werner, to them drivers are a dime a dozen, they dont have ta hire you cause they can get 30 newbies just as fast. look at a company with a fleet of under 1000 trucks, ones who dont hire recent graduates, might have a better chance with one of them.

    Mgassel - I believe it's Medford, Or. Never had a chance to pull that load.

    Lots of beer runs, though. Love taking *hot* beer to California (Hot as in, it's been sitting in the trailer for days/weeks in the summer sun - and it's not a reefer.

    No wonder American beer tastes so bad
