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.

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..
