Your license *
Watching Sliders.. Sorry. Kind of distracted. I wish there was a 5min grace period on editing posts! I don't like double posting or previewing a post.
Personal problems. Lol. :)
Wow thats awesome Daniel you put my mind at ease I was doing some research and you are correct no points on my record I dont think I will chance the suspension of not paying fine though or is that a scare tactic 2 I have a CDL A and I cant believe the company I worked for threw me under the bus and gave them my DL # and mailing address a damn snitch ticket

It came in the mail to your house? Wouldn't it go to the terminal since they just go off the plate?
This was a Company Truck small company using my Hazmat, No terminal local work I haven,t been there as I parted ways and they gave the Police my DL # there is no way of beating it dont pay they suspend your license most companies that I have worked for like I said dont respond to photo radar tickets for their employees this company though apparently likes to stick it to former employees there was no way in doing what they expected route wise in an 8 hour day unless you raced and surprise I got this ticket I was averaging 10-12 stops a day and some stops were 45 min window times so it just was not working out will not do route work again unless i can wear a mask or a bag over my head

Some advice and maybe need some
Try and apply locally I myself am beating myself up for a moving violation thinking I am damaged goods. I feel for ya I hope you can find something, But to be honest I dont think any of the big companies will hire you right now with your record. Keep your head held high and apply apply apply. I know it is very hard to have a positive attitude right now Good Luck John

Just got a photo radar ticket in the mail from 03/26/15 59mph in a 45mph 14 mph over so its not criminal but wow $234 ticket. Thing is I dont even work for the company I was hauling cylinder gases for anymore. It is not on my MVR yet but Im sure when I pay it will be there. I got until 06/05/15 to pay, so question is while I am applying , Do I let future employers know , as I dont even want to put down this company I worked for as it just did not work out , To many things to list , But it was a mutual agreement. I also believe the company could have said he no longer works here and we cant recognize who that is in the picture lol but that was part of the reason it wasnt working out as they wanted me to do between 20-25 stops a day with some stops being 45 min window time not possible in an 8 hour day they wanted you to complete the route

TB is correct you can easily get on with local construction companies from 15 to 20 an hour you do not need 2yrs of OTR and yes it sure beats living in a truck and eating like **** plus you can sleep in your own bed OTR is not for everyone and you can easily double your OTR paycheck in a week with OT in construction or if you have a Hazmat you can deliver gas locally 25 an hour in AZ do not blame ya for wanting to try something else go for it

Drug testing before trucking school
I'm confused I was under the impression that urine is 30 day back test and hair folicle go's back 90 days . Can anyone clarify these with any certainty . Or just about or maybe this many days .
If it go's back 6 months 180 days Then this may be helpful to know but it all seems very speculative on a thing that could affect your entire truck ing career .
Please attempt to clarify
Drug testing is a science, and relies on chemistry & biology.
There is no magic number. There are a lot of factors (including statistical probability). Your fat content, metabolism, genetics (luck!), diet, quantity & "quality" of drug, the testing facilities tools & technicians (technology.. Luck again). This is not an all inclusive list. Just a reality check.
I've personally known persons who have 20% body fat, mild activity/metabolism, smoke weed daily (including up to the previous 24hrs of test), and show a false negative on a UA drug test.
And for the record: A hair folicile test has a chance of going back ~90 days. A small chance. In that small chance: The idea that the exact hair they test has it, is even smaller.
Nobody seems to have the ability to do research, mathematics, or any kind of thinking these days. Hair folicle tests are not magic. It may potentially be more accurate (after collecting millions of hair folicle samples) than a UA; But there is never a guarantee it'll be 100% accurate.
I concur if your a heavy smoker your screwed but hair folicile are not that accurate DOT just does UA light smokers out of your system in 3-5 days personally dont even chance it with a cdl or trying to get one good luck
Ergo: FALSE positive/negative.
