As stated when you started your New Career , Most if not all Companies require No Criminal record for atleast 10 yrs, Which includes Drugs so your Simple problem is Now your Major Charge which all Companies will frown apond you.....Atleast your School should have said this be4 you made this choice in Trucking, Or be4 you signed the papers...
This is true, UNLESS you are Mexican coming from Mexico. The only way I see, at this point, would be to move to Mexico and just come strolling back on up here without ANY worries in the world. OR, you may be able to get on with some crappy company like Swift or JB Hunt possibly. Its sad, a guy makes a mistake and gets nailed for 10 years (seemingly the rest of your life). Is there a point at which people change? Yes...but not according to the law. The problem isn't really the trucking companies...remember, insurance companies RULE the world...
I'm very sorry that my feelings on the subject my hurt you but my personal feeling is I don't want to share the road with people that may have a drug problem. Once the drink or drug has sucked you in your sobriety is only a moment by moment thing. I wish that we could get people off the road PERIOD that have this potential. I am referring to all modes of transportation. Can you imagine how much safer the roads are? I know people can change. But I know how difficult that change is to make happen. It's a good thing my choice of drug is food. I come from a long line of alcoholics. This is why I've never tried it and never will. Suzi
