    IRONPONY u admitted you was a past DOPER
    Use your brain he asked as a rookie coming into a new ccompany
    if he was a driver he would know the pprocess
    he didn't ask how to beat the test n still drive



    second who made YOU
    police- judge & jury


    no other driver effects my JOB
    contrary to belief

    Lol your big concern is how many times u get pulled in to a scale
    If your going to police everyone
    police the fools who don't know proper logging
    drivers with overweight ttickets
    drivers speeding & other ttickets
    drivers failing D.O.T inspections

    yea buddy doesn't that affect u too
    Quit driving & be a policeman
    that seems to be your passion

    YOU are a tru trucker my friend ( You CANNOT READ)
    this thread is for ROOKIE- coming into trucking
    The thread clearly states what to EXPECT


    any UNEMPLOYED guy who smoke a lil weed or so in the past will ask that Question

    the question again was "do they do hair follicle or urine"
    what you did in your recent pass is your bbusiness
    once on the job I'm pretty sure he knows he should be clean

    before you guys speak you should READ

    Everything but getting the permit applies to you. It's the same process except you'll be going out with a trainer at the end of the week, and you're an employee being paid at the C-seat rate.

    I am about to take my road test to get my CDL-A/Tanker back. I want to go L/O with PRIME more than anything I heard so many great things about PRIME. I have 18mo exp OTR and i have none w flatbed so i know ill have to go with a trainer for a while. but my last job (non trucking) I was fired for taking my wife to the ER. am I really gonna not get hired for something like that? I am out of OKC so i will drive myself there (with a friend who will take my car back home). Do you think I will get shot down by PRIME? CRST Malone is wanting me once i get my CDL back as I am no issues. but i REALLY wanna goto PRIME. any advice?

    D-seat: Student driver, driving with a CDL permit.
    C-seat: Inexperienced CDL holder, earned CDL through a third-party school. This driver is in training.
    B-seat: A more experienced CDL holder, in training. D-seats jump here after earning their CDLs. C-seats are promoted after 1 month in training.
    A-seat: Fully qualified driver.

    Give recruiting a call, and explain everything. Hopefully, they'll give you a chance.

    Asking what kind of drug test a company does or does not do does not necessarily infer guilt. there are certain bio-secure and chemical related jobs that require no body hair as well as the fact that many competitive swimmers shave their bodys for less friction in the water. You all should really stop and think before you jump on the incrimination wagon. Besides all that, just what is wrong with simply answering the question asked without trying to be the days drama queen??? Yes it is bad on the CSA score which affects everyone in a company, but is it worth turning away one good future driver to try and harrass a few out?? After all, your accusations are only going to deter the one asked for legitimate reasons, the actual guilty ones are used to the incrimination and are just going to blow you off and ask someplace else.
