Could be kinda hard . I have filled out a lot of applications recently and if I’m not mistaken almost all of the company applications I have filled out have asked have you (ever) failed a drug test. I wouldn’t give up. Someone will hire you.

Ok so i got my cdl back in 2015. In that same year i found a otr job and went to work for close to a year. after an injury, i had to give up that company. got back able to work, went to apply for a different company and failed their PRE EMPLOYMENT drug screen. had the drug screen, the initial or instant results was positive so i went to work for maybe 2-3 days then got a call saying my lab results were positive. that was my last cdl job, then i went to work at a non cdl job..fast forward to 2019 i had my sap assessment and have 2 more sessions before i am done. the positive results are no longer on my DAC and the company i tested for isn't either. just wanted to know how hard would it be to get another job and has anyone went through the return to duty process for a different company or just to validate cdl again?
CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
SAP:
Substance Abuse Professional
The Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) is a person who evaluates employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up testing, and aftercare.
DAC:
Drive-A-Check Report
A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).
It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.
Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.
