    I failed a urine test this morning. Marijuana. I have already been informed that I am being terminated. I am currently packing up what I can, before taking an uber to the airport.

    I have been driving for about 4 years now, and I was looking forward to the ticket and minor accidents I had in my first year falling off the 3 year record.

    Now what? What happens nect? I know I have to do a SAP, on my own hook, but is there any point? Can I be rehired?

    Companies that hire SAP grads are becoming scarce.
    I think you'll be ok though. Don't contact any companies yet; wait until you're completely through with SAP program.
    I know of a few that might give you a 2nd chance.

    Xpress Cargo Inc. hires SAP grads from Florida.
    Don't contact the company yet. Wait until you complete the SAP program.
    There's several others you might have a chance with. Keep us posted on the SAP progress.

    Have you travelled overseas lately. I'm going to China, probably in the Spring if the lockdowns are over.

    Should you keep driving if you can't stop using? This was NOT an invitation to explain how unfair the rule/tests are, in your opinion, or compare using one drug to another drug.

    To those saying I'm an idiot? Yeah. Pretty much. I ran into some friends a few days ago, had a few beers and a smoke whike on a 34. Figured whats the worst that could happen.
