    So im thinking that means this company I'm with now never asked my previous company? They are a pretty shady company. But makes me wonder how that would have worked with getting me insured

    Then other companies will know you worked for them. No way you cannot list them as a previous employer. You may be out of luck.

    You dodged a huge bullet indeed. Clean up, wise up, and if anyone mentions that company you never heard of them, must be some mistake....

    Move on and I sincerely wish you good luck. You have a kid on the way, your life is no longer about "you" and what "you" want.

    With a child on the way, you need some decent paychecks fast. A few drivers on here in your situation with the hot drug test had no problem finding work with smaller companies off Craigslist. They didn't mention the failed drug test. One did though and was told, "We don't care about that, if you can pass a urine test with us, you're hired."
    One driver failed a drug test with XYZ Company and was on the road within a few days with another company. The company that hired him said,"We couldn't care less about you being under contract with XYZ Company or about the hot urine test. Pass a urine test with us and you're hired."
    Go on Craigslist and start making phone calls and leaving messages; lots of them. You'll be on the road soon making some decent paychecks.

    Synthetic urine, never heard of it before, lol.

    Had to google it. smh

    Using synthetic urine for a drug test is thought to be considerably easier for tests completed in a private bathroom. Understandably, the risk of being caught increases dramatically if you are being watched while you’re doing your business.
    Does Using Fake Pee Guarantee You'll Pass A Drug Test?

    On Craigslist you can also post your info that you're looking for a new driving job running OTR and you'll probably get job offers within 24 hours. Some of those Russian outfits hauling produce out of California to the East Coast pay pretty well.

    Many don't care why you changed jobs. I always said I was looking for better pay, but it just didn't work out.

    You're not in a position to be very picky, but just do the best you can.

    You work for the temp agency, not the trucking company.
