    Well i recall i never drank nor smoked a joint in my teen years and im 22. As a matter a fact the 12 or 13 truck drivers i know never had a DUI or a drug habit. Its Bad choices bad things yes. sleeping with the teachers daughter, painting the family cars with house paint when parents werent home, odd stuff like that.

    I find it really hard to believe u didn't drink at least once in your teens I didn't mean to offend anyone at all I was only trying to say MOST of us did stupid things when we were younger is all

    and having a drug habit is a lil different then taking a toke every once in awhile I was by no means a junkie I never had to steal to get anything hmm and I never had to destroy my parents things you know like painting there car they worked hard for to have fun either I have never been arrested for anything at all haven't even gotten a speeding ticket in 10 yrs

    No news is good news. You're only going to hear from the Dr or your school if you test positive. Takes a couple of days to get results. If you pass your DOT physical you'll leave there with your little green card.

    Believe it. I didn't taste alcohol until my 21st birthday. I don't like beer but I'll have a jack and coke every once in awhile.
