How long ago was the charge? And what were you charged with? Failing a drug test isn't a charge.
How long ago was the charge? And what were you charged with? Failing a drug test isn't a charge.
Failing a drug test makes you untouchable in the trucking industry for 3 to 5 years depending on what company you are looking at. Does not matter if rehab is done. A failed drug test is a failed drug test.
The trucking industry had a such a HUGE drug problem in the 80's and 90's that most companies will not over look the failed test until the time limit they set is up.

Take a look on Craigslist at the job section. There are a lot of small mom-n-pop companies and owner operators that advertise jobs on there. That would be your best bet. Also try places like Waste Management, logging companies, and local farms. That's what you'll have to do for a while until a couple more years go by. The major companies won't touch you right now but a lot of smaller ones will.
Owner Operator:
An owner-operator is a driver who either owns or leases the truck they are driving. A self-employed driver.
That's what I have been doing thank-you for the help
