Need advice : trucker of 10 yrs could not fill drug test bottle in time allowed...
I have had my CDL for over 10 yrs. sadly I have had about 10 jobs, taken 12 durg tests..I admit I'm not perfect but I have also had jobs like,,,taking a job and after orientation sat in a hotel for 8 days waiting with others for a truck only for me to get one that broke down 3 times in the first wk. so yes I left. also been with 2 Company's that the dispatcher/supervisor tell me I have to pay to get good miles..so I quit (one company sent a new driver and they got busted for it), also jobs that drove me 16hrs, then 18hr the next 2 days so I left... now to my problem, I took a **** test on monday and passed, then drove, then on friday I got some hrs at home before next load, ate, went back to truck and got ready for next load but before I went to get the paperwork I took a ****.(excuse my bluntness) went in and was told I had a random before load, Informed them I just went,,, they let me sit for 1 hr and then tried but could not fill the cup to the level they wanted, got fired/quit, it was night so delt with night disp...my question,,,Its not on my DAC (says,, DOT drug violations: No ) so am I screwed for other jobs??? wonder what Companys are told since they didnt tell License Branch or DAC..

Thanks for the replay G-town, I guess I told to much but didnt want to sound like I was trying not to give a dirty test by telling why I have taken alot of tests. I was having a good long record with companys until 5yrs into driving I lost my only son in the army that I raised totally by myself, he went into the army and I went into trucking. It really ****** me up and still does but I'm learning to deal with it. I kind of dont put up with BS like waiting for a truck for days but I was really broke and needed a job..Also took a No touch job that turned into driver unload tall frozen food pallets with just a pump jack that I just could not push up the ramp into the freezer, yep my fault I wasnt strong enough to do the job I was lied to about... another that said after my 34 hr break/hometime I would start pulling flatbeds, that I have never been trained on or felt smart enough to secure items so they would not get loose and roll off and kill someone, so Yes I quit that Co. The Co. I could not give a sample for just hired me and I passed a test 5 days earlier, so I wasn't thinking when I was not prepared, I agree and maybe it will help others to learn to always be ready... I truly do mean thanks for the input but dont Know why you seem to make fun of my name... "norman" I had no choice as a baby....I go by my middle name but like places I get jobs at for the post they used my first name. thanks again, and yes I know I could use help with not really caring much but I still have to pay bills, and I need to as you say "get my s##t together"...
