    Are you allowed to smoke on your downtime? I ask for a friend.

    No you are not allowed to have THC in your system while operating a commercial motor vehicle. Even though it is legal within a few states, unless you are operating a vehicle within those specific states, you are not allowed to have it in your system.

    Your body makes its own THC so how does this work?

    Your right, but there is a difference when your levels spike due to extra curricular activities to the point that it will show up in a drug test. LOL

    By all means I support you guys. its your time do whatever you want too, but if someone kills my family because they got high before hitting the road, there will be no amount of cops that will hold me back from returning the favor.

    How long have you been driving trk?Some get burned out the first few months because like any job,it takes getting use to.I did the otr thing for 11 yrs.I never got burned out once,actually enjoyed it.Reason I came off from otr is to help dad care for my mom.So then I went local and got burned out after 2 yrs which in time caused me to not like driving at all.You do need thick skin to drive trk especially otr because you stay out longer and if you have that then you won't get burned out for many yrs.

    Sure why not,what you do on your own time is your business but be prepared for a drug test once you come back or rather your friend.Companies are funny that way.
