    Ok so I came back to swift training school after 5 days of missing class because my mom fell one day (and they make you come back a certain day) and I had to take her to the hospital and when you return you have to take the drug test again. Monday I smoked with some friends (weed) and today when I was at school they took me to the clinic for a piss test and I refused because I knew I would have failed. Basically I want to know when I complete the SAD course will going back to trucking be a good idea or not?

    well i dunno. seems you take every opportunity to smoke. when are you going to get it into your head that crap is not acceptable in this industry?

    best you seek employment in something else.

    good luck to you.

    So it's a no go then? How long should I wait until I can go back to school and start again? Or should I just give up?

    You have a drug problem. Get that fixed before trying to work in this industry. Hope your mom is ok and Im glad you were able to help her up.

    when you get cleaned up?

    and don't do any more drugs?

    so that is up to you, what, 1 to 27 years from now?

    Swift already DAC'd you for a drug testing refusal, personally, i'd say you're doomed for life.

    Ask Swift. If they are wanting you to take the SAP program, there's your answer. At least a year? I hear that program isn't cheap, either.
