    CYOA is my motto moving forward. Probably gonna get it tattooed soon. LOL Anyway...I do have a lot to learn and at the end of the day, its a great learning lesson. When anyone steps outside of their comfort zone and into brand new territory there are bound to be bumps along the way. Going to look forward to a new opportunity with someone else!

    Don't give up. I got a job with Halliburton on a one-year-old, out-of-state DL and NO job history, at least not in this country. They trained me for the CDL, all the while paying $12.00/hour.
    Granted, that was 2006/2007.


    I love this country.

    Hopefully you shared your Wilson story with them. No need to repeat an ugly experience.
    Best of luck

    I was wondering does Wilson Lagistics do you hair follicle testing for new CDL training student. I quit smoking marijuana almost 60 days ago well I know they go back three months on hair follicle test needing to get to work. I currently have my CDL permit and DOT card
