    Hello, My name is Michael. I posted on here in 2016 about refusing a piss test (was shy bladder, guy was looking at me) for CRST. It's been more than 4 years now and i have 6 months of experience on keep trucking logs. Any companies that would hire me now?

    I've tried plenty of companies, but due to a felony i had some years back no one's willing to give me a chance (besides the owner operators I worked for)

    For context, It was a marijuana possession charge. I have been clean since i was on probation for a year and haven't smoked since. Just need an opportunity to make some money and get the wheels turning. If the wheels ain't turnin, you ain't earnin.

    Appreciate any responses, Have a great day everyone. Be safe.
    -Michael

    If your pot charge is in a state that went legal many are expunging those convictions. Might be worth looking into.

    Probably find a dozen or so driving jobs on Craigslist under "Transportation."

    Do you have at least 1 year verifiable OTR experience or 2 years verifiable tractor trailer experience? Is your felony 3 years old? Where exactly do you live?
