pre hire drug screen

Hi pattij, that's true, could be the best $60 dollars spent(or whatever), although, quite frankly, unless they are a mega burnout, I've had friends(cough) that went 3 weeks, and were fine. I'm not sure the test you pay for at these "pay for test" places, is the same as what the DOT specs are. Bottom line, if you aren't sure, you probably don't have any business in a truck nowadays anyway.

 

Werner only does urine test.

 

Hair folical tests only test the first inch a half from the root. Western Express doesn't do the hair test. They take new drivers. Remember if you fail any drug test you are commiting career suicide. I'm a recovering heroin addict. Good luck man

 

Bull hauler toothpicks... chew on those and you wont sleep for a week...

Those are tooth picks soaked in horse amphetamine...

 

Ghats funny right there^^^^ bull toothpicks

 

Hi 883, Years ago, I knew a guy that did the "toothpicks".He would do 5 Wis. to Cal. turns a month. He had a Pete that would do 3 numbers too, so that helped. Late '70's early '80's were crazy times indeed.

 

Just to be on the safe side, you may want to wait a full year. During that full year, become as physically fit as possible, to the point in which you should not have to take a sleep apnea test.

Also, during that year, vastly improve on your health and nutrition. You may want to look into various vitamins and supplements, along with SAFE detoxifiers and "purifiers" to get as many of the foreign elements and poisons out of your body. Drink PLENTY of clean water and perhaps various herbal teas.

In the mean time, keep building on a clean MVR and clean employment history.

Good luck to you! You can do it!

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

Those were wild days. I survived, but many didn't. Wrecks, heart attacks, etc. Several of us would run from Nashville to Stockton, CA and only sleep a couple of hours in Amarillo, TX. I can't figure out why I'm still healthy.

 

Had to use pay phones. Truck stops had huge phone banks and the mouth pieces smelled horrible. Some of us would clean the phone before using it; wipe it down with alcohol spray lysol or something. Sometimes the outside pay phones, people would wipe dirty fifth-wheel grease on the mouth piece and ear piece. Sometimes you could figure out who sabatoged the phone; he would be standing off to the side somewhere or in the truck stop snickering. Bunch of old gray haired kids.
