Will assist in acquiring a CDL
A CDL license is preferred but not required. If you do not have a CDL, you will be provided on the job training to obtain a Class B license with air brake endorsement. The Class B license must be obtained within 30 days after hire date.

 

Your recruiter shafted you.....by giving you the "green light" to show up before all the paperwork/tests were completed--and then blessed by the appropriate parties.

I believe that is sometimes called, "counting your chickens before they have hatched".

Thus--you can do as suggested above/earlier....and/or start all over with another local carrier.

Unifirst in Phoenix will help you acquire a CDL.

• 21 years of age

Some of their trucks don't require a CDL, but later you can move to a cdl truck after acquiring your cdl license.

 

If Swift reported the drug test to the Clearinghouse, that's another problem. If you weren't an employee, then it may not matter.

 

Can you join the military? If so, talk to a recruiter. Drug tests will be done; don't know if it's urine or hair.
All the branches are needing recruits. Coast Guard probably also.
My son got a CDL in the US Navy Seabees.
