Use theblinks here to apply everywhere at an once. And good luck. Sorry about your mom.
I would also try Craigslist and see if you can find a job with a small company who's willing too look beyond that. The important part is that you took action to correct your mistake and you also have a good driving record so I don't think all is lost.
Also, if you still have friends or connections in the industry I would ask around, they may know of a place where you could get your foot in the door.
Good Luck,
Dan

My name is Allan, and i failed a DOT drug test in late February of 2016. I've completed a SAP program, but been unable to find a trucking job. I made a poor decision after my mom passed away in dealing with the loss and had smoke marijuana. Subsequently, I failed a random drug screen. I had 7 and 1/2 years with the company. Unfortunately I was told that they do not rehire after failing a test. I have a clean record, no preventables, and had over 800k safe driving miles at the time i was terminated. I know it's difficult to find a job. Most are telling me a year or more before they would hire. I was hoping someone out there might know of a company that would be willing to take a chance on me. I currently live in southeast, Kentucky. If anyone has any info they could pass on to me, I would greatly appreciate it. I know i can be an asset to a company if they could just look past a poor decision and look at my past experience to judge me.
