Should I Try Or Wait
Topic 31501 | Page 1
I recently stopped smoking vape thc after only like 3 months back in June 2021 I began cleaning my system to get ready for pre employment drug testing. In October I decided to go with schnieder figuring after 4 months I should be clean they now do hair and urine My urine results came back spotless but they found trace amounts of THC in my body hair that they took(which I’m told holds it longer) but I got passed for that job So my question being I’ve checked my clearinghouse house obviously no violation since it’s not DOT regulated. And I recently got my DAC report after reading a few articles and it is free of that. So with a clean record can I go ahead and apply to another company since I didn’t have a DOT fail And do I have to disclose it on the application. Most I look at just say have you failed or refused a DOT test not in house?
This is 'tricky,' Trippy. Welcome to Trucking Truth, tho!!!
My question is this: Since SNI DID accept you, why would you EVEN seek employment elsewhere?!?!?!? You 'skimmed by' with them; why not just STAY PUT ?!??!

DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
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.
but I got passed for that job
Anne, I think the OP might have been saying he got passed over for that job. As in he didn't get it. I don't know though.

Ahhh, I gotcha, RD. I was thinking 'passed' as in... into. You're right, I bet. He's meaning 'Passed Over.'
Thanks, you!! :)

Got passed OVER was looking at other options since it’s not a dot fail and can’t be passed on Wondering is it worth the shot or a waste of time to go elsewhere

Did SI give you any indication why they didnt hire you? That may be a decent guide for you.
I don’t see the harm in applying for other companies that don’t do the follicle test, especially if your DAC and clearinghouse are clear. I don’t know what you should put down honestly. Like you said if they’re just asking about DOT drug tests then no you’ve never failed but I’m pretty sure companies also ask about pre employment drug tests too so I’m not sure about that

Due to a positive hair test wasn’t eligible for their CDL program So I ended up getting rejected out

CDL:
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
- Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

Ah, okay .. NOW we gotcha! So, it's what .. 8 months clean now? That 'might' be safe, might not. It's almost impossible to find a company that doesn't do hair follicle (for sure) nowadays. Many state that they do NOT on their websites (which we repost here,) and candidates show up, as you did, to find out otherwise.
IMHO, I'd give it 4 more months and make it a full year.
I know, you're trying, man! We're trying to help, too. That's just 'my' advice, to be honest. The 'next' company you apply for that does H/F may just REPORT it as a fail, and then...you're ... yeah. Ef bombed.
Just my thoughts!
