    I have been laid off for 7months. I recently applied and received a position as a driver. I had to go for a physical and drug screen. I tested positive. Needless to say I did not receive the position. My concern is ,now what? Do I tell all the future companies of this? Can they find out? Do they already know? Is this on my record like a speedng ticket!? Any inforation or advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Your profile reads trucker 6 years. You melt the cup and don't know the ramifications?

    You've been a trucker for 6 years and failed a drug test?

    So that basically means I need a new profession.

    Yep. You guessed that right, unless you happen to be on prescription medications that would result in a fail on the 'p' test, and you have a prescription for them.

    Never had to worry about it. Like I said I got laid off and smoked some bud from time to time. Stupid but done, thought I should have been good, not! And yes I don't know the penalties. Do you?

    Is there a chance they will not report it. It was a pre employment testing, it's not like I was working for them for awhile
