    Last February I got a possession charge for testosterone. I was on probation for 12 months. It's silly since you can buy the stuff legally off the shelf in Mexico like candy and in Canada possession isn't a crime.

    Anyway it's already caused employers in other industries to look away. I've been laid off from my last job for 3 months and can't find a decent job. I've been thinking about trucking. I need a company that does training too.

    So how's this going to effect me?

    Well, this isn't Canada or Mexico. It's the way it is. Don't like it? Go to Canada or Mexico and quit complaining.

    I bet companies like CR England would take you. We had prior felons there. I would put them at the bottom of the list but if it is all you can get, it is what it is. Stick with them a year and then go somewhere else.

    Where is your location? Might be some non-cdl box truck jobs available for the time being.

    Some research is necessary to understand where we stand on that substance in America. It is prescription only for specific reasons and thus possession is illegal. It's probably a schedule 3 or 4 drug under DEA and possession of such is a misdemeanor. It goes by another name Anabolic Steroids. Common to body builders etc.

    First offense about a thousand dollar fine, and 30 days, 2nd is 2500 and 60 days and third is 5000 dollars flat plus 90 days mandatory up to 3 years.

    If you were associated with this substance in other ways you will be imprisoned for life. It's either state or federal.

    If you like the stuff then you would consider emigrating to either Canada or Mexico and not be part of the USA anymore.

    Here is the information on the substance.
    Anabolic Steroids

    All kinds of jobs for you.

    Oil field,
    Dump trucks,
    Log trucks,
    Containers,
    Any kind of rock,gravel, dirt
    1099,
    Cement trucks.

    Anything goes at most of these places.
    If fact, you'll be applauded at half of
    Them for being a outlaw and standing
    Up to the man.

    There's always outlaw companies and outlaw
    Owners who don't give a dam about anything other
    Than you making them money.
    Happy trucking.

    Every company is different. Most of them list how long after they will hire you. Some smaller companies probably won't care.
