Assuming you are fully disclosing (just CBD and not Cannabis/THC), shave everything and as your hair regrows, eat tons of salmon and yogurt and wash your hair or beard with your urine. Yes I know, sounds ludicrous and revoltingly gross, but the combination of foods and shampooing with uric acid will regrow your hair at twice the pace. After you have sufficient hair for sampling, get your own hair test BEFORE applying anywhere to ensure its free of CBD. Exercising and sauna will also expel CBD and cannabinoids through sweat detox.

But as has been mentioned previously, that misdemeanor may very well be a deal killer in the current job market which is over saturated with drivers.

Best of luck.

Hello Jeremy and welcome!

Since you are new it is best to stay with your first carrier for a year. That should satisfy any training commitments (if Melton has any, i.e. contract) If the pay is good, your question doesn't make any sense. Smaller carriers are getting pinched even harder right now with freight rates being cut.

If Melton is keeping you moving your best move is to stay put. Many drivers new and experienced are struggling for miles/pay right now.

As far as "rules", what rules do you want to break? Breaking rules are usually predicated on a desire for more productivity or an immature driver or both. What rules exactly?

Dre, I turn 48 this week and prior to getting into trucking a year and a half ago I spent the prior 5 years in the twilight of a 20 year career in consumer real estate finance smoking weed and drinking the distilleries in Scotland to historic lows in their single malt reserves, while my finances went to hell in a hand cart.

We ALL make mistakes. I am going to give you an invaluable nugget of sage wisdom I read from Jim Rohn (who mentored Tony Robbins). "Take personal responsibility for EVERYTHING that happens to you."

Not a comfortable concept to embrace and I realize you are less than half my age, but let me tell you man, if you embrace it it's a paradigm shift that will turn your life around in drastic ways! This concept and our Heavenly father catapulted me over the other side a sober and successful driver in his 2nd year.

Blessings and best of success!

Hello Christopher,

Welcome! Just a heads up, companies typically don't release a new student without a good reason. If you can provide very specific details and be thorough than it will help the forum members advise you from there. The more cold hard facts you hold back, the less value will be in our responses. In other words, if you want thorough and honest advice, we need thorough and honest details pertaining to your situation please.

Nothing. Probably the Petro in Bordentown about an hour away is the only option I know of.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was about a half hour south of Portland, Maine. Looked like a really cloudy day.

As one who quit in October of 2022, I can honestly say that any relaxation in guidelines for CMV's will result in a massive increase in CMV crashes. THC and its effects linger for a long time and taking off 8 hours or even a day won't sober you up completely and at 100% sharpness.

It took me several months to get my "full" brain back after quitting. I guess when you smoke it for years you just assume your brain is getting dull from aging.

Here is a twist. I had a great run last week that I DID want to deliver. Pulp from a paper mill across town from our terminal that went 1200 miles to New Hampshire. I get on the dock, get locked in, and the guy gives me the BOL with the words rejected on it due to minor contamination as the shipper did not clean the trailer prior to loading for this higher end consignee. Currently parked in Maine, to offload this load scratch and dent to a warehouse in central Maine then back to the Midwest. BTW this load did have a flat tire that delayed last home time, now weather layover and load reject will keep me out a 2nd week. Beautiful views out here and NH has the best bacon on the planet! Got a great Avocado, Bacon, Cheddar Sandwich at the service plaza on I-93 south.

Sorry Davy, I'm a little off topic here, been stuck in my truck for 4 out of 5 days in New England.

Another good one for SWIFT.. Stevie Wonder Institute For Trucking
