Failed Drug Test(marijuana) Almost 10 Yrs Ago Stevens Denied Me For Cdl Training School,help?!

I failed a drug test for marijuana about 7+ years ago and stevens trucking school denied me. I didn’t think they would still consider something that was almost 10 years ago, when I was in my early 20s, but I guess so.

Anyhow, I’m looking for a career change to truck driving and a good school, that’s company sponsored to attend. Also, one that won’t hold something so long ago against me. live in Houston, Tx.

Thank you guys for having a platform with no judgment as well.

Was it trucking related? Did you tell them you failed or did they find it in a background check?

I let them know ahead of time. I still gotta call from a recruiter even after this. It was when I first applied for Stevens years ago and I didn’t know anything about truck driving requirements, I went in for the DOT exam and failed the urine test after.

The recruiter ran my back ground and saw that I had failed the urine test back then and said stevens doesn’t accept any failed tests, no matter how long ago, no redemptions for it at all.

HI... This is a legal lawsuit issue. You documented that you failed a drug test. If you have an accident without proving you went through a Substance Abuse Prevention program, the company would be held to a higher liability limit.

Ask the companies what would be required for you to get into their training. Some may have different standards than others.

Apply everywhere. Good luck
