Good News, Bad News

Seems like you are now making good decisions for your life. Now don't let life get you down. Be patient, keep clean and good things will come to you.
Don't beat yourself up to bad on this. Like Big Scott said, you're now starting to make good decisions for your life/career. Just stay clean man. Last time I smoked,it was 4 years ago. That was the time I decided to start my career as a truck driver (but personal matters unfolded so I held off for a LONG while). Til this day I haven't even thought about smoking. Once you get trained in that big fancy truck and solo out into the real world doing what you love. You'll probably forget how to spell weed let along know the color of it HAHA. Goodluck on your journey and keep us updated🍀🍀.
You are smart enough not to take a drug test until you are clear. Be thankful for that. We have so many come to us after they failed the test and face greater struggles. So be thankful
Good luck and stay straight

Hello all, I'm a bit frustrated with my past self. I'll explain why.
When I first started looking into a Trucking career i started by exploring CDL schools. One such school I looked into was RoadMaster and I applied via their site. However I think I applied broadly or something, or perhaps they used my info and sent it to Trucking companies. I say this because my email has been blowing up ever since!
I've gotten emails and text messages from about 4 companies looking to hire me. And I still don't even have a CDL! I don't want to respond to them either because of my past drug use. I'll Probably fail a urine test and certainly fail a hair follicle test. Ugh I'm frustrated. Why did I smoke the green!
I could seriously be in training right now if I'd never touched drugs. But I did. So now I have to wait upwards of 3 months before I even get into a truck. Now in the mean time all I can do is make Chinese food for an honest wage. Every time I clock into work now I quietly beat myself up. No amount of Orange Chicken will satisfy me lol
Sorry everyone, I simply felt like ranting because this seriously has gotten to me. In addition I here Prime Inc has given out raises. I wish I'd known about trucking sooner before I locked myself down with bad choices. Ie smoking weed.
If anyone's out there reading this and is new to Trucking. DON'T DO DRUGS! All you'll do is hold yourself back from making good money in a good career.
Best of luck, Luke Appleberry.
