Driver Employment Application

Small trucking company. They DON'T ask any questions about any criminal activity on the application.

Get through your probation first. Then when you are out of the system and free to do as you please then consider trucking. But not until then.

The original charge related to drugs indicate a history with or around. You must choose not to have that in your life ever again if you get into trucking. The industry is unbelievably intolerant when it comes to drugs and trucking.

And I agree with classicst, once you get in a big truck with a nation to run around in far from Detriot, you would be a flight risk if the "System" wants to check up on you. They would have to consider you a fugitive from not being able to find you easily.

Get clear of your probation and be done with the court, enforcement, punishments etc. Then also be completely done with drugs. Use this time to get and stay clean. Some tests are able to detect drugs in your system going back almost a year.

Once free and clear you can get into trucking. However. A work around would be with a small local, as in just a county or two at most outfit small enough not to care what baggage you have on you provided your license, social and so forth are valid.

Any time you have a bad day, keep in mind maybe 90% if not more of drug users, addicts or abusers will never consider bettering themselves with something as big as trucking. At the same time, you are not going to be truly free in trucking. You might find that there is too much Uncle Sam on down to local law enforcement everywhere you go for the smallest things related to your work.

Use this time to save money, however little or much. When the courts and probation officer says they are finished with you, then that is the time to head out.
