    Forget calling the safety dept,I just did and they sent me to the recruiter.So that's who you'll need to ask.But not today they are extrememly busy.Saftey was very nice.Im curious myself if a failed non dot drug test would be an issue.Thats why I called.

    And if the recruiter tells you it's not a problem, have him send you an email stating that. This way, if it becomes an issue at orientation, you can show them that you did disclose it, and were told it was ok.

    You needn't worry, it will be a problem. Failed drug tests of any sort must be over 4 years old to be accepted into the CDL apprenticeship program. The OP states they were 2 and 3 years ago... if he gets on the bus, he's coming home, and most likely on his own dime for concealing this, even if it is just an error of omission.

    Thank you all for your input. I feel like most of you read and understood my situation and genuinely tried to help. At this point in the thread, I believe I have enough information to make my next move so I am going to try to put this topic behind me. Hopefully it works out.

    Thanks again and best of luck to all.

    Got bad news,Prime will not accept you and they will find out about the drug test even though you didn't put it on your application.So you might be SOL no matter who you apply to.I told recruiter it was my neighbor.

    If he can get a private or community college CDL school; there's companies that will hire him.
