    If you suspect you may fail I would either choose a new career or wait until you are clean (for good) and then get your CDL.

    Operating $150,000+ Equipment = Huge responsibility

    Maneuvering 80,000 pounds through crowded streets and busy highways = Gigantic responsibility

    Inexperienced driver = Enormous liability

    Impaired (inexperienced or not) driver = Epic fail

    You can get the CDL without a drug test, but you won't be hired without one.

    Maybe the rule book sez he can be hired without one, though people who quote rule books usually print out the chapter and verse, but as a practical matter nobody is hiring without one. If someone is let us know because they will be flooded with applicants.

    Look I don't mean to sound like a jerk, But if you are worrying about failing then this is the wrong job for you! go find something else that will allow you to party and not involve thousands of dollars of equipment and more importantly other peoples lifes.
