Nervous Now, And Hoping I'm Not Royally Screwed.

I did a lot of research on here before deciding I would go through Swift for my trucking career to get my CDL. I got my permit after studying my butt off and passed the normal CDLA tests for General knowledge, combination, and air brakes, and then also took and passed all 3 endorsements for Tanker, Doubles/Triples, and Hazmat. I was STOKED and super proud of myself. I was 100% honest with my recruiter when I spoke with him on the phone, asked a million questions, and was 100% honest on my application in telling them that I had tried THC a couple of times back in 2020, because it is legal in my home state and I was dealing with a mystery illness that caused a LOT of pain and the thc/cbd combo helped. I explained all this to them IN detail. I haven't used it since 2020, as I got a diagnosis and now can prevent the pain instead of needing to treat the pain. Now, I am here for training. It's day 1. They do the UA. No problem. I know I'll pass that. They do the hair follicle. No problem... or, wait, according to them today, it might be.

Again, I was 100% up front and honest about this. I didn't try to hide it. Today when they were sitting me down to do the hair follicle they said it would look at a years worth of drug history usage. I again mentioned that back in 2020 I did use thc a few times and asked, is that going to be a problem since it has only been 8 months, not a full year, and he said, it might be. If it comes back positive, I'll be sent home, but they won't know until next week.

I guess I'm just worried that I've screwed myself over, now. I really want this career and am worried that because I was told incorrectly by 3 different staff members that my career will end before it's truly began.

Anyone have any advice for a girl who is seriously stressed now? 😔

At this point all you can do is wait for the results to come back. Hope for the best and try not to worry!

Jessie, can you give us an update on your situation? I hope all is well, but your post and your issue makes me a little anxious for you. This is a topic we deal with often, and I would like to know how your situation turned out.

So far I am just taking the class and waiting to hear back. They said it might not be until next week, and of course, by then, I am locked into at least part of the loan. I'm praying at this point. I'll definitely keep you all updated. Thank you all for the support. It really means a lot.
