CLP A Holder Needing Help
Topic 34109 | Page 1
Here's some links to get started with.
Have you pulled your MVR to see what is on it for that DUI? If it's on your record, then companies may or may not hire you even if it was thrown out. Some companies have no tolerance at all, some have time frames of 7 years or 10 years from the time the ticket was issued or a conviction.
As for your vaping THC, you will have to wait for some guys to come along and give more info about that. I've not heard how it affects your testing for it. Most everybody that I see that have questions about it, just smokes it or ingest it.

TT On Facebook
New to the forum. Didn't notice this anywhere so I figured I'd post. I just received my CLP about a week ago. I've been looking around in my area/state(Florence, SC) for companies that offer paid cdl training. The problem I think affects me most is either/ my DUI charge over 5 yrs ago(case was thrown out, so not convicted) or my marijuana usage(used a THC vape pen in Colorado around December of last year.) Hoping some seasoned vets or new guys like me have had luck with companies willing to hire me. Any help is better than nothing. Thanks!
