New here and need help...

Thanks guys. I'm going to keep looking, really hard with needing to be home daily or every couple days. I can't give up though, my family depends on me.

Was just hoping there was something above and beyond just seeing an SAP that I could do to regain some credibility..

New here and need help...

Hey all... New to the forum but not the world of driving. Been working LTL for just over 5 years.

Need some help or at least direction.. Back in October (2018), to my surprise, I popped positive on a random drug screen.. Tried to work with my company at the time for a re-screen or something to clear my name... Got no help at all.

Well, immediately after termination, I went and got myself an SAP counselor, had him check me out. Completed the program (simple online education course), passed subsequent screenings, and was issued a letter approving my return to duty. Took all of maybe a week, mostly due to waiting for appointment dates. I wholeheartedly believe either the original test got screwed up, or I am the most unlucky person on the planet and happened to pick up a drink with something in it, thinking it was mine, in the days leading up to the test.

Long story short, I'm now having a hell of a lot of trouble finding a new job because of this. LTL is all I know, I'm starting to go into massive debt trying to find something new, but can't. I'm not sure if there's anything else I can do to lessen the impact of that fail or what.. I feel like I'm running out of options.

Any advice would be appreciated, especially if someone can point me to a local Ft Worth TX area company that's more lenient and could keep me close to home.
