Does Pepsi uses DAC

Doubt it, most local driving jobs don't.

 

No...
they will pull mvr, and drug test fail/refusal history, and normally call a few references.

They called me as I was listed as a reference for an previous coworker, and my buddy left a Werner truck in New York somewhere and caught a flight home. He was kicked out of orientation at Schneider, and again for Crete, but he has been at Pepsi now for about 4 months refilling machines and gas stations. He only makes about 850/week, but he also only works 45-50 hrs. Supposedly they get crazy busy in the summer and he can work a full 70 then.

 

Thing to do is apply with USX and if they prehire you then chances are youre good to go.Unless they find the failed drug test during orientation?How long ago did you fail the test?

 

All failed drug tests are reportable.

If you have a "A" or "B"

A driver fails a drug or alcohol test by testing positive to a drug test, or registering a 0.04 or greater alcohol content. Either of these results requires the driver to be immediately removed from performing safety-sensitive functions (i.e., driving CMVs) until successful completion of the return-to-duty process with a DOT-qualified substance abuse professional.

Pepsi would have to recommend you to a SAP program. You failed with them, so even though you were fired they have to recommend you to a SAP program.

Substance Abuse Professionals
Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs) are licensed or certified professionals that have knowledge not only of the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol and controlled substances related disorders, but also of DOT drug and alcohol testing and return-to-duty processes as required by §40.281. A DOT-qualified SAP initially evaluates drivers who have violated DOT drug and alcohol regulations and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare. Once the education and/or treatment is successfully completed, the SAP reassesses the driver’s condition and, if satisfied with the driver’s compliance, completes a SAP report and prescribes a series of follow-up tests covering a period of one to five years. Any motor carrier employing this driver during the prescribed period must complete the follow-up testing as specified by the SAP.

The regulations pertaining to SAPs and the return-to-duty process are found in 49 CFR Part 40 Subpart O.

 

So what makes you thi,k you would pass with USX?It takes a lot longer before you show up clean.
