    I am a new CDL A driver as of August of 2018. My past has haunted me since obtaining my license and has halted all movements of job searching. The past year, pre CDL I had a failed random drug test for a former employer. Since then I haven't picked up even a cigarette since I've seen how it had cost me the last job. Moving forward and trying to advance my career aspirations this is now shutting down any chance to gain employment, I now enrolled in SAP program to receive a RETURN TO DUTY status. Can anyone help me on possibilities of a rehabilitated driver looking for a chance. Remember it was PRE CDL!!!!! Please help

    You shouldn't have said anything about a "pre-cdl" drug test.
    Too late now, hindsight is 20/20.
    Where do you live; we'll help you get on the road in a few days.

    What do you mean pre cdl? Fmcsa say they gave to do a pre employment, Random and post accident tests and test for reasonable suspicion. If it wasn't for any of these you shouldn't have to do a sap and there should be no record of that test in the database.
