Class B ? No worries -- I doubt they reported your drug test. Can you call the DriverManager for the test records and find out what they did with your test. Do not if possible go through the SAP program. It is a load of bull. But if you have to, tell your SAP it was a false positive, and stick to your story. Otherwise, welcome to the House of Horrors.

Once again BigShot comes through with great advice: Just lie about it! Yeah, you should now start lying about the drug test you failed . . .

Bosco in Orlando, Florida said: Ahh, poor little BigShot. Is this what they teach you in trucking school: when you're losing an argument, start with personal attacks. It's really funny that you think that what you write does anything except make you look like an idiot and give me a really good laugh. Please keep trying though; it's very entertaining!

You see people, in BigShot's world everyone can just do what they want. If you want to shoot heroin or take bong hits while you drive, go ahead. No one should be able to tell you otherwise, right?

Please bestow more of your wisdom upon us BigShot . . .

Talk about idiots --- Bosco, this forum is for PRE-employment failed drug screens, not drug screens from active drivers. So, no-one is advocating the use of drugs & driving here. So typical of you DOT cops, in that you don't understand your own rules. Hence, the reason why drivers need to break them, and skirt around them. There are No good drivers that don't put safety first. What we are all trying to avoid is being caught up in the the New World Order, where a police state has total control of our Freedoms. Why don't you explain to our readers, Barney Fife, how pre-employment drug screens are loaded up into a huge CIA/DEA/FBI data base whereby the working man is now forever beholden to The Man. Go ahead, Bosco, explain to us how it is ok that otherwise law-abiding citizens can lose there rights for smoking pot. The issue here is not about breaking the law, but how to avoid a corrupt system that is designed for failure. But please stay and make more far Right comments, as you are just adding truth to my statements.

Wow, you need to take another bong hit! I love both of these statements. I guess since you don't put safety first, you are saying that you're not a good driver. Too bad.

I really love your 2nd statement though. How can you smoke pot AND be a law-abiding citizen? Duh, yoo is sew smartt . . .

Wow -- busted. Yup, There are no good drivers, that don't put safety first. Meaning, Bosco, now stay with us -- that all good drivers put safety first. You failed that test.

There are plenty of law abiding citizens that smoke pot -- because in some states it's LEGAL. Yup, you fail test number two.

How did you get into the police academy ? With donuts ??

Bosco.... smarten up, before you post. Good luck.

Whoa, you are ignorant. I was not arguing with your statement about good drivers and safety. That was pretty obvious. I was simply stating that you're not a good driver since you don't put safety first. You think that people who fail drug tests should lie and be able to drive.

Oh, and is it legal for truck drivers to smoke pot anywhere? You're a joke . . .

BTW - I guess the weed has gotten to your memory because I've stated before that I'm not a cop. But that donut comment sure was funny!! You should try comedy for a living. Oh wait, you drive trucks because that's all you know how to do. Nevermind . . .

1) I always put saefty first. When did I ever say I don't put safety first ?
2. I never said it was legal for drivers to smoke pot anywhere. Where did that come from ?
3) I drive trucks for a living because that's what I like to do. I also invest in real estate (like many other drivers). If it weren't for boredom, I would have retired at thirty. Driving is a good money maker.

Listen Bosco, if you are going to be successful as a troll, at least stay on topic. This forum is about failing a pre-employment drug screen, and mostly focuses on cannabis users. I never said I use pot, but I will state that I support other drivers first, before I support the system that wants to tear everyone down. Also, one doesn't need to use drugs to fail a drug test. False positives are all too common in with today's drug testing procedures. It is NOT, by any means 100% accurate test. Also, with any system run by humans, there is lots of room for error, and corruption. There was one local lab that was switching specimens, as the assistant that worked in the lab was dating a meth-dealer that sold clean-pee on the side. So, don't your self-righteousness to us. Drivers are street smart. We know better.

Bosco -- why do you bother to harass people ? Is trolling fun for you ?? Do you get off on this ??? Seriously, if are you an adult ? It just amazes me the trouble you put into trolling -- weird. In a way, I feel sorry fo you, because you obviously don't have a life. I just figure you must be kind of a dumb cop with absolutely nothing better to do. Or a dude living in his parents basement --- unattractive, fat loser type. I bet you are unmarried, no friends, and most people don't like you. Very bizarre. With all the posts I've made, I'e never ran across a troll as persistent as you. It's just weird. Why do you do it ?

As usual BigShot, you are wrong. I'm sure you'd like all the personal things you post about me to be true. If that makes you feel better, than you're pretty sad. Actually, everything you said is the exact opposite. I just like messing with you because you're an EASY target. You think everything is a consipacy and somehow that state and government organizations are "out to get you." It must be frustrating going through life being so paranoid. Then again, it's easier to blame someone else for your failures in life, isn't it?

Frustrating ? No, once I realized that the State, Federal and Local governmnt are out to get the common person then it all became very clear. That is why I monitor this group to warn other drivers of the danger of pre-employment drug screens, and how they are used against them. It is no secret that these files are maintained by the Feds and are used to deny us of our most basic rights, like the right to own a firearm, and the right to vote. etc. The War on Drugs is a sham, and I am merely warning my fellow drivers that otherwise wouldn't know any better. It is obvious you are were trying to silence me with your troll-strategy, but it failed. Also tried to flag my posts, again failure. The more you try to shut me down, the more obvious it becomes to others that I am writing the truth. It is also apparent that you must be on the enforcement side of the drug screens, and it is dangerous to have a Lantern like me Speak the truth about drug testing. Maybe if the Government wasn't already ripping us off, you might have a chance to convince people they don't need individual rights, but because of greed Government must use force and fear to keep us in line. Spread the word, fellow drivers, never give in. Resist punks like Bosco.

That goes for anything, really, in the working world. We need to conform to requirements today even more so. i.e. appearance, hygiene, etc.

Coming to work with noticable body piercings and spiked hair will not get and/or keep you employed.

Steven in Brooklyn, New York said: I recently was hired by a company. I had to travel half way across the country to do thier orientation. To keep it short I came up possitive for marajuana. I have been a driver for 5 years pulling tanker and mostly hazardous material. I have been drug screened on average twice a year. Prior to truck driving I have been tested on average once a year all my adult life. I have never failed a drug in my life until then. Honestly I don't know how the result came back positive. I can't say I have never done marjuana, however, I had not done any since I started driving back in 2001. The company said they could offer me a rehab program and I was offended. I now have a failed screen showing up on my DAC report and am being black balled from every good job I try to get. I have no clue what I can do to fix this, and it is extremely frustrating that I can not get a good job. I am stuck working for small companies who don't check DAC. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi dear.I do have same prublem that u have.make story short there is a website calls www.daxfix.com i never try them before myself but i heard that they do fix this kine of stuff .so pls check that see how it works there is also 1800 number that u can talk to them on the phone and its on the website .good luck

Sad to say that I sat here and read every post that has been posted. I have gotten alot of useful information from here. And alot of it was just funny!! Reason for me being here is that I refused a drug test/post accident. I did smoke, I'm not denying it, and won't deny that I messed up. I will go to SAP and I will let people know if it helps me get a job.

Alright, I have an opinion about this but I don't want to dance on anyone's feelings so this is my disclaimer - I am not out to make enemies.
#1 - you were positive because you smoked something. Accept responsibility for your actions.
#2 - teach your child to accept responsibility for his actions. You continue to provide for your family, your son still has you working and taking care of him when he gets out of jail.
A bad decision was compounded by another bad decision, you taking the rap. Dumb. Raise him to be a Man.
I have a club card for legal weed and smoke regularly. But like alcohol, I don't smoke while working. Common sense. I was concerned about random drug tests though so protected my best interests. I said all that to say this Diana: There is a product called Puck Technology Urine Substitution Kit. It's an external thermal bag of synthetic urine matched to your body temp by pressing against your body, is ready in an hour, and has passed more drug screens than a Parolee at large. That's my advice. Weed is healthier than alcohol and is illegal for political reasons, not health or safety reasons. I am accountable for my actions, so as an adult I won't lie about what I do. Instead, I will protect my income by preparing myself for randoms. I know I will be judged harshly for this information, but I'm burntzilla off that good orange ruffy right now and nothing will disturb my peace so take your best shot Lemmings.

Weed takes up to 3 years to leave your hair follicles, and up to 45 days to leave your urine & blood, depending how much you smoke. Occasional smoker, 10 days. Regular smoker, 30 days. Constant smoker, 45 days. Again irrelevant if you have a urine kit. People have a right to know.

Alcoholism ordinarily designs this illusion that everything is right-minded in the life of the one affected by it. But the fact that they are not conscious it does not mean the situation is not significantly insufficient. The people in the alcoholic’s environment should thin of a solution.

Pattycake in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania said: Can someone provide me with some info on Gainey please. My brother-in-law is about to start orientation with them, what should he know?

One more question; when you fail a hair test, and they put on your DAC company violation will they be able to find out the violation? If you give them a reason for the violation, but it's not the real reason, what can happen?

We called the company where he was terminated, and they informed us that it was not a DOT violation, so they can't put it on DAC, nor can they tell the company other than company violation.

Shoot i'm 6 months late,I could have told them about Gainey.I drove for them 7 months.Could have stopped them from making a bad decision.

Curious: I've been following this thread trying to get some current info on BTC Trucking. Considering switching from "food-grade" tank to flatbed. Read more positives than negatives so far, but mostly dated and limited info. Is $25.00 tarp fee the standard now?

Also: I take all kinds of herbs & vitimins and eat multigrain breads and such--have for years--but never had a bad drop yet. I guess if it happens, I'll know what to counter with...

in january i failed a reasonable suspicion test. i blew a .035 and was terminated for a zero tolerance policy. my question is this. i was not over the legal limit for d.o.t which is a .o4. i was only .5 away from the illigal limit. I was not considered legally intoxicated. I was over a .02 but i could have returned to work. does this justify a report on my dac since i was not legally drunk

I just went and took a pre employment dot drug test.I gave them a urine sample, and the nurse mssed up on the paperwork and said i would have to do it again.I drank 6 more cups of water and had to wait an extra hour. I didn't even finish the test. I asked the nurse if she could step out with me so I could get my cell phone to call the babysitter that I would be running late.The nurse said no, so I went and got my phone anyway. It only took 30 secs and the nurse said I was in violtion and she told me to leave. Nw I just recieved a violation leter in the mail stating that I tested positive for drugs and that I can't have an safety sensitive driving job until I complete a substance abuse course.Can they do that ? I've been driving a truck for 18 years and this has never happened. Please respond to this. I don't know what to do

Unfortunately, they can and do. Too many drivers have no understanding of the truth behind compliance testing. Do not get me wrong it is necessary to do compliance testing but more protections are needed for the driver when something goes wrong. I pray that your situation is different but today is the one year aniversary of my husband being labeled a drug users, a man that has never touched a single drug in his life. Not even a cigarette. He went through the SAP program and still cannot find a job driving. We did all sorts of follow-up testing, urine both DOT and through our medical doctor, hair test, and they all came back negative but none of it mattered. We have begged for DNA testing but most drivers do not know that the law will not allow DNA testing on the samples that they provide. My husband too had a collector that "messed up" on the paperwork. She opened the vials and transferred them to another form. Because my husband trusted that she knew what she was doing he signed the form. HUGE mistake. I have told him to never sign the form again because when you sign they say that you are affirming that the urine is yours. My husband never knew that and because they take the original form away from you when a form is re-done, and they say that they do not keep records of destroyed forms, it is his word against hers. My husbands employer even had their own forms at this lab that, as you know are numbered, but the refused to even check the tests for that morning to confirm that there was a gap in the CCF numbers. I pray for all of you that find yourself falsely accused. Truthfully, I have no sympathy for the actual user because they have no right to be behind the wheel but anyone, regardless of never taking a single drug can find themselves in my husbands shoes. Until truckers stand up and insist that more protections be granted, they will always suffer this risk. You make think you have nothing to worry about but so did my husband.

At the very minimum, DNA testing should be allowed. It costs them nothing because like anything else it would be at the driver's expense. If their process is as tight as they say they should have nothing to worry about. The problem is that they do have something to hide and they know that a few DNA test coming back to prove it will shed needed light on this very broken process. God Bless you all!

I worked for a company, and they came in w/ a what they called resonable suspicion or cause drug screen. I was a mechanic but hold a CDL, I didn't drive a truck there. 2 1/2 wks before the test i smoked up at MY wedding w/ my best man. They violated they policy according to the yard safty man who was unaware of they testing, that should have been a wall-to-wall test. The employer name wasn't even right, it was a company they had bought. They came in, and done a 10 panel NON-Federal drug test that tested non-negative. They sent it out said I would hear from they lab in 48-72 hrs. It took 5 days for they lab to get the specimen, they told me it was in testing on a monday and a thursday the 2 days i call the lab, and on they 8th day they finally called and said it was positive for TCH. A potential employer said they told him in HR (from previous job) that I had failed a drug test, and that they reported it. There was a released signed so that they could could fine out if i had failed any federal part 49 what ever the number is DOT drug test, and they told him yes but it was a NON FEDERAL.

Can they report a NON-FEDERAL drug test to DAC or what? Could someone please help me I am out of a job there are a few driveing jobs in my area?

I'm going through the problem of drug use that don't show on my DAC, but the company I worked for tells every job I apply for about it and I lost a lot of prospect because of it. Can anyone tell me how I can stop them.

A wrecker is a tow truck. I had a failed pre employment with swift and happen to get lucky to find this job a couple of days later after coming home from their 2 day orientation which they did not pay me for. I thought it was the end of the world and was down and ot for a few days. But like I said, I got into Heavy Duty towing and I make really good money and I am home every night with everyother weekend off. Hey....big rigs break down just as much as regular cars and need to be hauled off the road wich is what I do. At first i was just going to work here until a few years went by because some trucking companies will give you a second chance but you have to wait a while. Some were 6 months, others were anywhere form a year to 5 years, etc. But I do't think I would want to get into that longhaul stuff knowing what I know now. Long haul is not the only job for people with a cdl. There are other jobs you could do to ride out the storm even if it's only 14 or 15 bucks an hour it's still a job and especially in this economy who has time to be picky. There are a couple of BIG trucking companies I looked into like Arrow and Central Refrigeration but it has to be 5 years from the date you fail before they will hire you. For me I got 4 years to go. But I happen to like my job and there are a few drivers here who worked at swift, knigt etc. and they all tell me the same thing, anytime those bigger companies get a chance to screw you, they will. You are nothing but a number to them. So look into other types of CDL driving like Dumpers, Wreckers, Local delivery compnies like Coca Cola, Pepsi, etc. the don't use dac. I hear Conway and My Yellow don't use Dac either.

Failed drug screen will stay on your record for 10 years.Insurance company has the say if you get hired.Large companies consider you not for hire.I failed a random 3 yrs ago,went through rehab and have letter for return to work by DOT certified counselor and still no trucking co.will hire me.Good Luck

There is no way, I know that and I have to try and prove it. I just don't know how. I have never, in my lifetime, taken any drug. The only things that I was taking was nyquil and dayquil, excedrin and ripped fuel (which is a diet aid) before ripped fuel I was taking hoodia. They swear that none of these will cause the false positive but someone needs to explain to me how, then this came up positive twice. If any of you all pray, please send them my way.

God Bless!

did you send it to new lab

dumbfoundeddriver in Los Angeles, California said: I just want to say that it is absolutely possible to test positive for marijuana without ever in your life taking a single drug. I have never taken a single drug, never even smoked a cigarette or drank a beer or any alcohol. Despite all that, I was called today by the DOT and told that my test came back positive. I requested the retest and I am praying that God resolves the issue. I have worked very hard for my career and my good name. I am being treated like a drug user and can't get any answers. I have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay. I have no faith in a system that can return a positive result on someone that never as much even touched a drug. Before you pass judgement on anyone, you need to know that there are the accused that are truly innocent.

God help us all!

dot need to get the drug test gone all driver go to work to be safe no one go to work to kill someone

The wiz-quiz is a two stage test, specific gravity and a substance breakdown, I've heard that Advil shows up the same as THC. It could be that you had taken an over the counter pain killer.

Down in the dump in Dallas, Texas

I just had a great chance with a large Trucking Company. They provided training and assistance with getting a cdl. I was in the interview process and they asked had I ever refused or failed a drug screen. I wanted to be honest and told them I failed a pre-employment drug screen in 1997 with a local City job. They told me they couldn't work with me. They also told me that they would have found this failed drug test and would have terminated me anyway. Does anyone know if a 12 year old failed pre-employment drug screen that I do not belive was a DOT test could have been found or was I just being stupid when I answered honestly? Thanks for any input.
