Stupid mistake...advice?

I have been unemployed/underemployed for about 18 months. I decided to go and get my cdl a back after 10 years without it. I did a two week school and was offered a job with the company owned by the school.

The stupid part was that I had been smoking weed while unemployed. I had to take a pre-employment screen. I had quit just before starting school but still failed the test. I have no intention of smoking anymore but seems like I may be permanently screwed with driving jobs now.

I actually tested on a friday, drove a truck from CO to TX the next wednesday, and drove for the next 7-8 days before I got the call to go park the truck, you tested hot for pot. Can't say I have ever been this embarrassed, or ever been fired form a job in over 25 years of working.

What happens now?

I do not have the 2-3 years of experience most companies want for insurance requirements.

I can not use the school or the job as a reference as I am pretty sure she will disclose my indescretion.

Now that is has been well over a month I am sure I can pass a screen, and I am not going back down that road.

I am a very good driver with a perfect mvr. I want/need to work and I am willing to do whatever it takes.

Since I only worked about a week I have considered not listing this job on future applications and trying for a fresh start. I would like to get back into the oilfield arena and I know they need drivers. Do I have a chance still?

 

I am in Colorado. This was with a very small company, not sure if they use DAC. How long after they make a report does it show up? I would like to check before I bother trying to get back into the industry.

 

Where exactly did I act surprised?

The opportunity came up very quickly and I didn't want to turn it down. Congratulations on being an expert in my life story though, and for the salient comments, as worthless as they were.
