I think all our members should read this thread and then comment that they did so. This is a very common misconception and we need to ensure that the myth has been busted at TruckingTruth. I would hate for someone to use the mythical "Safe Haven" rule and then get in trouble.

Read it. (Scratches head in confusion)

One thing is for sure: I'm going to have to clean up. I've been a heavy mmj smoker over the past couple years. It's time for me to clean up, anyway.

I remember those days. I had a smoking problem several years ago. I haven't forgotten the worry or the waiting. Check with your companies to see if they do a follicle or ua. Follicle is going to go back much further but I really can't say how far. Good luck Mike. Your goals are certainly attainable.

Hope to hear more soon.

Informative post. I'm not a huge t.v. fan but I do have a couple of favorite shows. (TWD & GOT + SAINTS games) and I gotta admit, I've been trying to figure out how I'll keep current. Lol It seems petty but I can't help it.

Ah I feel you there Mike. I was born broke. Ha ha ha Do your research on the companies and programs for the training. There are some good ones and some that seen scary to broke folk. Lol but it's very realistic. I just signed on with Stevens Transport and I'm scheduled to start school on the 9th. But Stevens isn't the only place. Just research and don't limit yourself imo. Even if it seems the company may be "too good for your record".

The reviews here are really good for helping you figure out which programs are doable.

Hi Mike, I was a little worried about this sort of thing myself. I had my license for about 8 months before it was suspended way back in '02. I was a young, prideful idiot and didn't feel I owed the fines so I never paid up until 2013. They hated me for it and suspended me an extra year for good measure! Lol I was very honest and upfront with the companies I applied to and was finally accepted. My point is that if my spotty work history (Louisiana construction layoffs), past DMV infractions (years of suspension + other stuff), and general official misdeeds were overlooked by a reputable company I think any honest worker has a chance. Just be sure to be completely and absolutely honest with them. I don't know what they can find out through their checks but I just pretend they can read my mind and give them the straight dirt. Scott's advice is solid. If you follow the links he provided I think you will be heading in the right direction and begin to feel a lot more confident about the whole process.

Ernie, how does the cat scale app work, you just open it up and drive truck over phone to get your weight?

Now that is funny ****! And thank you Ernie for those app suggestions. It seems like almost every question I have is already being talked about. Excellent. Thank you David H. For posting the topic.

Hey I just want to jump in real quick and thank Anchorman for the quote (thorough) and thank Brett for posting the breakdown from the training program. Really handy stuff for a newbie fixing to head off to school. I had a question about this sort of issue but I just didn't know how to formulate it due to my lack of knowledge and experience.

Looks like all images except one are up. Great thread too. Thank you Daniel. I'd still like to see the international just for kicks. =)

Excellent thread and "side thread". I think I have a new appreciation for bbq. But seriously. Great threads. Thank you guys
