Postby jcn6456 on Tue May 05, 2009 1:28 pm

I have a question that some pepole have asked already. But I wanted to give detail's about my problem thats been making it pretty hard to find a job! Two and a half years ago I was found guilty of possetion of contorled subtince (less than two grams of pot)and possetion of a insterment of crime (pipe) all this at one time. I since have served a year probation and paid some fines. I NEVER failed any drug test INCLUDING hair test and I have the recoreds. I have since gone back to school to get my G.E.D. And I now would love to back OTR as well, I just miss it.

I am 24 yrs old, I have two years OTR exp. (reffer dry van). I still have a "cdl the same one". As far as traffic ticket's? I had a speeding ticket about 7 mth ago (6 over)and thats it. Is there any hope for me? Yes I made a mistake and have paid for it "in full". I am a good driver a safe driver. and will work hard for anyone that might be willing to give me chance. Any help at all and I would be most greatful. Thanks for your time Jeff :D

The problem is that Federal lay says you can't drive OTR if you been convicted of a drug or violent crime violation. And even though the drugs we're never in your system, and you have a clean driving record, a criminal investigation will show that you had this in your past.

There is a class though that you can take to show you understand that "drugs are bad" and you'll never, ever, do it again... it pointless, but it's the hoop you have to jump through to try again; contact Connie - info@everytruckjob.com - and she'll provide you with the info.
