Crete/Shaffer‼️

There are no weed friendly states for truck drivers.

 

Pretty sure they still do hair follicle testing from these comments in article about a year ago:

"The company also uses hair follicle drug testing, which is somewhat controversial as some claim it is discriminatory to certain population groups. “Since we started hair follicle testing, 15% to 20% of our drivers who came into our driving training programs who passed the urine test [failed the advanced hair test],” Ostergard claimed. “These drivers are now driving for someone else.”

He added that drug testing is a critical element and as more states legalize marijuana use, more drivers are failing drug tests. “There’s been a significant increase in positive tests for drivers living in states with legal marijuana,” Ostergard noted."

 

Crete also fired a driver ..who tested positive..that was using perscription CBD oil ...for arthritis joint pain

 

I'll say it. If weed is legal in your area and you can pass a urine test then you should be good to go,

 

And you get in an accident and weed is not legal there and you fail your test you have a problem.

 

Federal laws supercede state laws..cdl holder are federal

 

Crete visited my driving school in 2017 and the recruiter told us they do hair follicle.

 

What Federal law says anything about hair follicle testing?

 

I believe that is an industry-wide standard.

 

No. Weed is a hallucinagen. If it can be detected in the body, you should not be driving a truck.

Prescription drugs are legal, but get caught driving with opiates in your system, as and you will get hammered by the law. Should be the same for pot.
