    I've been talking to some drivers who are getting ready to jump into the commercial truck driving business and a few of them have noted that they have recently smoked marijuana and we're wondering whether or not it was going to be a problem weeks down the road when taking their drug screen.

    If any one of you out there is thinking of starting a career in this business and you have an ongoing drug habit you had better get it cleaned up before you start on your journey or your journey will be finished before you even get started.

    Here is an article that will give you the facts and it is not to be taken lightly. If you have a drug or alcohol problem don't even think about going and taking a DOT drug screen because if you test positive it will stay on your record for a period of time and it could ruin your chances of getting hired somewhere anytime soon.

    They will still be on here daily asking stupid questions related to the subject.... It never fails.


    "I only took one puff in my life, can I pass the drug test?"

    "I was in the same room with people smoking, How did I fail the pee test?"

    That's as bad as the cops asking you why you ran and you reply;
    "I don't know I saw you and I got scared."
