Crap! Positive U.A.!

hi, and welcome to ttr. ummmm.. im not sure of the answed to your ?. however i am sure there will be some interesting post. i wish you all the luck, and hope the alive helps

 

I'm no expert, but, between the PTSD, cronic pain, and now a positive drug test, I would say your chances are slim to none, and slim just left town. You may find an O/O who will take you on as a second seat or something, but you would have to get your CDL on your own in this case.

 

Generally what we hear from the safety department at my carrier is that one hint of something like this in your background, and you're cooked.

This is all just pre-driving, so there may be one ray of hope: If this doesn't get into USIS/DAC or the new federal drug test database, you may get a second chance. That's a huge "IF"...

 

U are road kill, positive UA's are like being blacklisted in Hollywood in the mid 40's, so kid no work for u in this town... or all of USA, as for your reason, will it's lame, like all pot heads no reason to accept your actions, sounds hard but it 100 times worse of what the trucking companys will think of you for the next 4 -forever's

 

If I had a nickle for every former Mixed Martial Arts Fighter Pot Head w/ Chronic Pain working for a Temporary job agency. Well... Id be a rich man LOL

Every one of them has a drug habit of some sort. Usually a pill popper, but ALL are pot heads. ALL know how to give a clean UA when the time comes.

Personally, I hope the OP never gets a job in trucking. Truckers have gotten a bad rep over the years, much of it is deserved as the bigger trucking companies will hire anybody with a pulse. I wish they'd get much tougher via the hiring process.

 

It doesnt matter what the state of WA says, your under a federal mandate for your physcial and it says no drugs period and very little drinking as well

 

yeah but it was for a medical reason. I understand the regs dont care, but the fact is that he switched to a different medication so that he could drive...as far as im concerned, whats the problem?

 

While I agree with you, for the most part. I have to play devils advocate here.

If naproxin is working now, what was the issue in the past ?

Drug of choice maybe ?

Even the strictest test data shows. You must be a heavy user, to fail a test given in the 30-45 day period of none use.

Hell I passed one 7 days after using pot.

My #### vacation time, it was one joint...you guys can get the hell over it.

 

Or he's over weight and out of shape real bad. THC hangs out in fat cells. The heavier you are the longer it stays in your system.

Regardless, though, I agree....must have been a heavy smoker for it to come back hot after that long of time.
