    This guy worked at kllm..he was called in for a random.. right after he came back from home time.. He took a hydrocodon cause his tooth ached. Didnt think any thing else .. So get back to terminal in jackson .ms they say i need to go take a random no problem .. Went in had to wait about 5to6 hr. Went back to truck slept for an hour or two ..Other students were getting screened .. So went to thinking why a random now ..thinking about the hydrocodon .. Love my truck ..love driving ..problems with alot of dispatchers.. aswell as trainers..but any ways ..so worried about this hydrocodon ..ask another driver for some of his urine ... Wasnt thinking just cause he was a kllm driver as well as me..Left clinic for takin dot random ..came back to terminal .. Waitin on the lady to inform me was i good on test they finally say im good to go. Before all this i had to wait 3 days till monday to get a load from hometime .. When i got the ok from this lady linda. From test .. They sent me to houston, tx.the dispatcher told me its just like im on an ghost load with out a trailer. Ok cool jokes now no problem .. Get there pick up trailer then get a run to go to laredeo,tx. Get there the load not even been in computer yet.. Two day after. With all the fussion with this dipatcher. Then another ..then another .so ask for down time wouldnt approve then waited another 2 to 4 hr. Phone call.. I fell a random for THC. Wow .. Told me to stop driving .. Ok. i say. NEED TO TAKE BELONGINGS out of truck ..they say i had to get out leave truck where some one would come get it .. Way in Laredo,Tx. Had to find my own way back to mississippi.. Left the bill of lading papers there plus before now they finished with my load all of a sudden .. Thinking .. Bobtailed from Laredo, tx. To the.. School that i trained from in ridgeland,ms on riverview dr. Parked the truck .. Nice. ..just like i got it when i upgraded.. Just came on back home.. So now . take SAP THAT THEY SAY WITH A LIST TO CALL .. I WILL TAKE A HAIR TEST ..ANOTHER URINE DOT .TEST TO PROVE I DONT DO ANY THC. AT AGE 41... POSITIVE vs. The lies that the dispatchers make up .. When diSs like You as a lease purchase operator.. And the race is separated ..whites drivers the best loads mostly black coming into the school .. Putting all in lease classes with a lie of a deal on a truck that dont apply to black new drivers so .. My journey of being among. Prejudice trainers. Rebels and trainers who only after newbie driving hours .. There staff really need to be hair foccial tested in those dipatcher positions..

    Hydrocodone is the lowest level pain medicine that is under schedule two. It is not as powerful as Morphine but way weaker than Oxycodone. I have had been prescribed Hys several times a year in order to apply a different opiate into my pain management until I build a situation in which I will become receptive to Oxycodone again (It wears off and builds tolerance in me... the doses I take will reduce you to a drooling mess in a hour.)

    By taking Hys, you dirtied up your urine and blood. Your urine will still have detectable residuals up to 3 days. Your blood will have it up to 24 hours. You enter withdrawl from that dose in about 30 hours, give or take 6 to 10 hours.

    The best fix for a toothache is to dentist. They can find the problem and fix it in a hour. Anywhere in the USA.

    Getting someone to pee for you destroys your credibility. And risks that person's previous use of which you know nothing about to be exposed. It's also going to affect the temperature of that urine. It has to be a certain range in a space of a certain amount of time after you pee into it. You brought yourself into this situation and now here you are.

    Im not here to give you a hard time. Hys and other pain medicine at that level is enough to cause you to become impaired behind the wheel of any vehicle for a good period of time. Usually 6 hours up to 24 or so. And IS detectable up to 3 to 5 days after in urine. 9 months in hair.

    You also have a new problem having a supply of hys with you inside that tractor trailer. If it does NOT contain the actual prescribed to you label with the CORRECT pill count against the date of filling at your pharmacy you can be arrested on suspected sales or diversion or... simple abuse. Just having the medicine inside the big truck with you is a no no. You should be sent home long enough to go through that medicine period after surgery, dental work etc and then a additional period up to a week after the last dose is used for purposes of confirming that you are now safe and able to return to work with a 18 wheeler.

    The rest of your writings indicate that you are having difficulty accepting what you brought on yourself. I cannot but help teach you a little bit but if you cannot learn and do better to fix toothaches at the dentist quickly (Most will see you same day even if they never saw you before...) than it is to try and toss a pain pill from which you are not really allowed to have inside your 18 wheeler.

    Ive said enough. I am in pernament pain management myself and understand exactly what I can do, when I can do it etc when it comes to driving which does not happen more than two or three times a month and after a 4 day cease or drug holiday from medication so I can drive well and pass whatever tests the police would care to administer. Just having one loose pill anywhere on my person or vehicle without a actual labeled prescription bottle is sufficient for arrest. Don't you know that?

    It's extremely regulated, these pain pills. You best be very careful what you are getting into so you can protect your CDL. In my time Ive sat in ER's telling the doc no narcotics for decades for the OW. They do a very good job knowing I plan to drive again as soon they cut me loose. Once or twice Ive gotten hit bad enough for them to adminster narcotics but telling me and my boss on the phone that I am not safe to run the truck for a certain amount of time. Then they will cut me loose. It's not a problem. But only for the ows they can actually fix.

    I love the fact that he claims he was popping pills, so he bought some pee from someone he never met, and when that pee wasn't clean the blame lies with racist white people.

    Did they make someone else pee in your cup ? If those pills were yours just tell them I took a pain pill for a tooth ache , no worries , the real problem is you , it's just easier to blame others
