    I am currently trying to get into the trucking industry. I do not do drugs and have no record whatsoever. I do not know how you can say that this industry is easy to get into. There is a wealth of knowledge and skill you must know and posses to do such. Unless your some sort of prodigy (which I highly doubt), this is not an easy industry to get into. I'm pretty sure that meth heads and dope heads get hired quite frequently in the restaurant business, or strike up their own business slinging drugs.

    Among from a urine/hair follicle test, there are tall-tale signs of chronic usage of any drug that most physicals will show (if they are a good doctor, of course). So, I do not understand your logic of the trucking industry being filled with drug addicts. With all of the DOT rules and regulations, I find it next to impossible to get through. Granted some do, but not as many as you're making out.

    Quite frankly, I hope that I am never in school or work with a person such as yourself. With this attitude in trucking, you are more than just a danger to others, you're a danger to yourself.

    I wish you the best of luck with that attitude and mindset in any career choice, including trucking.

    Here's a suggestion "FamilyFirst". Got to the nearest truck stop cafe and spout all of this there, and let us know if you survive the experience. The waitresses will probably be tipping the customers you encounter out back.

    By now, isn't your bong calling your name?

    Then you don't know this industry. 99.9% are drug free. Yes that includes pot. Maybe you want to hold all of us to your lower standard. Get over it.
     
    HauntedSchizo19 and Jimmy Hoffa Thank this.

    I don't believe I have any high standards at all, thanks. You are delusional, and paranoid or something. You're twisting my words, and aren't even reading in between the lines. You have no foundation to anything you're typing out; therefore, you're lacking much sense. In the eyes of FEDERAL LAW, marijuana is illegal and deemed a drug.

    All anyone is trying to say to you is: THAT DRUGS OF ANY KIND ARE NOT WELCOMED IN THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY (and in the eyes of the law, most over-the-counter drugs and even MOST doctor-prescribed drugs are prohibited)!

    Go on and keep twisting people's words (including my own). You're just making yourself look like an ###.

    If you're trying to intimidate anyone, you're sadly mistaken, ha ha. I certainly don't care what your size is, or that you've boxed. Good for you!

    Well, I wish you the best of luck with that 7 years of boxing experience in the trucking industry! Oh.....and your impeccable attitude as well!
