DRUG Testing question

Go to a walking clinic & get yourself tested. Check the results & then you will know.

 

Yes. It goes on your record. I believe the testing lab is required to report it to the feds. Regardless of who reports it, it goes on your record and you cannot drive until you go through the feds "return to duty" process.

Better to turn down the job offer and walk away than to get popped. My $0.02

 

Youre gonna want to find someone to drug test you proper. And you will definately find out for sure.

If the company demands a hair follicle test it's going to be months for that stuff to clear out of you via the hair. Maybe show up shaved head. No hair for them to test maybe. Be up front with them. You came out of a legal pot state. They can expect a dirty test result.

You DO NOT want a offical trucking company dirty test result anywhere on your records. It will be a stain against you for months if not years pertaining to hireability.

In fact I think there is a process in which you have to endure in order to be certfied a good boy and go forth and sin no more with the vices. You best not even go apply at all for at least a year. And NO POT or anything for that long. If you are truly dedicated to getting clean, then get yourself REALLY clean. Hair testing is incresingly common because it can take months to clear something out of there and detected that way.

 

Shaving your head won't help. They know where to find hair elsewhere. Legs. Arms. Arm pits. Chest. Back. Nose. Ears. They'll find it.

 

man, this will get ugly soon.........but, my personal advice is to skip the test. You know you're gonna show up hot, and it will go on your record. After that, you have 2 choices, stop smoking weed, or give up any hope of being a driver; it all depends on whats more important to you. I'll make no character judgments, mostly because I'm not that way and when I was in my late teens and early 20's I smoked a metric ton of the stuff. But, I found something that was more important to me than smoking weed, and I stopped that day. It's all a matter of priorities......simple as that.

 

Well said Opus, yea go test and get the hit on your record.. Wait about 6 months, if you really think you want to be a truck driver..
Legal state or not. Federal laws do not allow it

 

On a more serious note, the main question is how much did you use and when did you use it. Simply stating that you were out of trucking for a few months and that you "used" pot provides absolutely no useful information
