It seems like you would need weed to do this job

I have been smoking or vaping all my life for over 15 years. I have been looking into trucking for a few years now as a way to earn steady income to use for investment properties. I am college educated and have been running my own business for a few years, but it isn’t consistent.

This job seems like it would suck if you couldn’t get high at least once a day. Like... I can’t imagine driving for 10 hours only two sit and twiddle my thumbs until I fall asleep.

I’m currently taking a break from weed in hopes of passing the drug screening for whatever training company I will decide to attend. I talked to CR England and they do hair follicle testing! Wow. What kind of truck driver doesn’t do any drugs, ever?!

I could never be on the road for weeks at a time with nothing to smoke, nothing to look forward to. Are there others like me on here that can share their experiences?

 

What, you guys are all angels?

 

I understand the laws. I’m not debating them. However I have a problem with the fact that some of the guys talking are the same ones going to the bar and getting plastered, sleeping for 4 hours, and getting back on the road. I smoke a joint at night before bed and I’m a criminal? Just doesn’t seem right. And I just read a study that concluded that habitual smokers have less accidents on he road than those who don’t. Probably because smokers are calmer, more open minded people. Nothing like a sober ####### cutting people off and not giving a ####. But what do I know. I wanted to start a discussion with adults. If you don’t do it, fine, but I bet there are others like me that do - and I want to talk to those guys.
