    First since you finished the return to duty process you are now fully qualified to drive. You need to list this positive and the SAP aftercare. Do it on all applications. There are some carriers that won't hire you but others that will. Full disclosure is the best policy.

    Do yourself a favor though. If you can't leave that crap alone find another job.

    Apply at as many as you can...all of them. during the process you will learn how the interviewers work and you will prepare yourself to be honest and up front with your situation. Make sure you are done with the cause of your failure. you can get tested anytime for any reason. Life is full of second chances. Those of us who use them correctly will be successful. Use the tools from the SAP. They work!!!!! Be patient, this is a career, not just a paycheck. I been there done that bro. Good luck.

    thank you very much. this is what I was looking for. this is not an issue for me, it was a one time mistake (the timing was horrible, i agree) and i accept all responsibility.

    i appreciate your sincere reply. i wish you the best in your future endeavors

    *********************
    DON'T VOLUNTEER ANYTHING!
    Don't be acting guilty, it's a tough world out there, volunteer it once in the spirit of honesty, and you'll never know when it might be shared, or how. This guy at the school is probably a wannabe cop. Not your friend!!!
    I'm 100% for sobriety, zero tolerance, but just advising you not to be an idiot. I don't think truck driving schools are mandated reporters, under the law. Last I checked the truck driving schools were some of the biggest liars and cheaters in the industry.

    My Dad used to say:
    "Even a fish wouldn't get caught, if it kept it's mouth shut "

    Good luck and happy trails
