Need advice to pass on

I have a good friend that is currently losing his s*** over a failed pre-employment drug test at PTL. He has no accidents, no moving violations, steady work history, and a clean DAC report (aside from the failed drug test) and over 2.5 years experience.

Is his career completely through or is there some glimmer of hope for the man? I don't know what to tell him because I haven't been in this situation but maybe someone on here has.

Oh boy...........

You left off one option on the vote. Who cares.

Obviously your friend didn't.

 

Somewhere in this thread, Carolina Cargo will come up.

 

Lol!!!

 

People who fail or refuse a drug / alcohol screen can go through the "return to duty" program which requires treatment through a SAP (Substance Abuse Professional). Once completed, that person would legally be allowed to be employed in a safety sensitive position i.e. a CMV driver. Costs for seeing a SAP are typically the responsibility of the driver unless the company want to shell out the money for it.

That being said, there are not a lot of employers that will hire someone with a failure or refusal even after a completion of a return to duty program.

Any reason for the failure?
Yeah, I know...he pissed dirty...that's a given. I'm curious as to the specifics.

 

Yard jockey maybe?

 

Isn't that safety sensitive? Lol

 

Not in Mexico.
