I need real advice here.

Hey Everyone!

I've been on this site for awhile now, but this is my first post. I continue to learn lesson after lesson here from all of you and I so much appreciate all the help you have given me. Brett, the High Road Training Program is awesome! I have not finished everything, but still going.

Chris, Long story short, I had gotten into some legal trouble years ago. Possession of less than 1 g of a controlled substance. Stupid, dumb, childish choice. Anyway, during my probation period, I had to take pee tests every month for YEARS. The only way to have a "cold" sample is to bring in urine that has not been heated properly. That's it. There is no other explanation. You got a ton of responses here. I can't speak for everyone, but if I've learned one thing on Trucking Truth is the writers, technical advisers and moderators all talk about (and expect) accountability. Just be honest. I think a big part of trucking is accountability and that's why everyone here is so adamant about it. Taking responsibility for anything that happens in your control. Being late for a load, accidents, you get the picture. I am prepared for that. I've made a ton of mistakes in my life but I have overcome a lot by being brutally honest and owning up to everything I did and taking responsibility for my actions. That's the only way to get past life's challenges in my opinion. I don't think anyone here was trying to be mean. Plain and simple, they can see past the B.S. Seems like everyone here combined has a TON of life experiences and call it how they see it. Personally, I like to be called on my sh**t. Keeps me in line, so to speak. I sincerely hope you get past all of this and get the job you want. Just stay clean and that way, you don't have to worry about drug testing. It amazes me how many people want to know if a company does hair follicle or urine. If you're clean, what difference does it make? I'm coming to Prime this weekend (yeah) and the last thing I'm worried about is the drug test. I do wish you well though and hope you find what you are looking for.

Thanks again, everyone, and I hope to meet some of you someday on the road!
