Thank you. :)

Just took another home test.
STILL POSITIVE.

:(

I reported in to my recruiter. He said talk to the clinic.
I called the clinic.
They recommend I go to GNC and get a flush from there.
They will run their test for $30 for without sending to RM.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Me makes mental note to purchase the same cleanse... :2 cents:

So I'm at GNC now and the guy tells me they dont sell any products like that. >.<

Just ordered this from Amazon.

Damn, how much did you smoke lol

Almost every day for 30 years.

Is one of your friends giving you laced snacks without telling you or blowing smoke in your face when you're sleeping? 60 days of not smoking and still coming up positive is weird unless it's a hair test. I've smoked and passed drug tests the same day, but it was one of those mouth swab tests and those are easier to pass with...

I have dreams about smoking weed? :upsidedow

Fuck, now I just got an email from my CareerSource counselor saying WIOA Grant's are suspended until further notice.

It's a sign dude.
Find another career path, one where they won't test your ass.

:pimp :rasta

The Trump administration pulled waivers for all states that didn't vote Trump in the 2016 election except for Massachusetts. Tge only Trump voting state they pulled wauvers for was Florida. This is unamerican bullshit petty payback. Very pathetic

That sucks dude, that's Trump MAGA.. He's MAGA for senor housing in FL as well. There are lots of elderly and disabled getting evicted across the state because Trump has cut funding to various programs.

Either try to wait it out or go the MEGA route like I did if you really want to drive. The money is there, but make sure to understand OTR driving is a shitty life if you aren't ok with it. Meaning make sure you are ok with being away from home and not having much personal life if any while you are doing it.

Something you might look into, depending on where you are located is delivering Amazon packages. I've heard both good and bad about them so I'm not sure if it's a good option, but might be something to look at.

Whatever you do, don't go the route of getting financing via the truck driving school. You might however look into your local community colleges as sometimes they have CDL training that is very cheap.

The other benefit of going to a community college CDL school is they are often eligible for Pell grants, which could cover your entire cost, especially if you are unemployed and not in good financial shape. You would need to check your local community college programs ASAP and talk to them about FAFSA paperwork...

Oh thats an awesome tip :thumbsup

How to Get Pell Grants for CDL Trucking School

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ok, I received my flush and a box of 15 test strips (cheaper than a single test at Walmart). I haven't used the flush. I put both of them in the fridge and will use just for assurance.

Does this count as a negative? It's not a full line or even half a line. I'll take one test a day until I get a solid line.

Damn that's hard to tell! You aren't catching a single break with these damn drug tests yet fuck!

I had to pee again so I said fuck it, I'll take another test.

Good to go to the clinic now.

Thanks everyone for your support! :thumbsup

Oh nice congratulations! :banana:banana

Are you going to work OTR?

That is.my plan. To sell my RV and live in the truck.

I passed my DOT physical and drug test yesterday. Now I'm running into problems about the WIOA funding. I'm being told that I need to apply to the CareerSource center in the county I reside in. Technically my address is only a mail forwarding service. I live in my RV at random parking lots and campgrounds. I might have to make a trip to Crestview in order to proceed. I'm not sure yet.

I'm going to have to take the test again if I don't get the funding within 30 days so it was kinda a waste of $65. The recruiter at Roadmaster was pushing me to hurry and get things done but he wasn't really listening to my situation. So his supervisor brought this up yesterday when I was there meeting with him. His supervisor is suppose to contact my counselor at CareerSource and then call me back. It seems no one was aware of my living situation even though I've explained it to them. Honestly, they're all too concerned about making money off me and only see dollar signs when I meet with them.

They are low-level salespeople operating off of a "script." That script may be something given to them or something that they put together in their head. As a unique individual, you do not fit within their "script" so they have no idea how to handle you and completely block your concerns out of their mind.

As a person with disabilities I'm sure you have dealt with this your whole life in many other scenarios. Same thing. People don't know how to handle scenarios outside of their comfort zone.

Good luck on getting funding. I've enjoyed reading your story.

They bust your balls about sleep apnea?

I never officially been diagnosed by a doctor for anything. The guy told me just to check no for anything I wasn't sure of or had questions about. He was really quick about the whole thing. Probably took 15 minutes max.

Thank you.

There was a big push on sleep apnea recently for DOT cards. Last two I had taken (have to go every two years) they were mostly concerned about sleep apnea.

They first would measure your neck and then would use the BMI chart (which is total bullshit) to see if you were a prime target for sleep apnea. If you fell into the concern area, you were automatically sent off for a sleep study.

They might have a more intense screening at the trucking company. This guy I went to was a chiropractor that did this on the side. It was the place Roadmaster told me to go so I'm sure they have a business relationship.

If you already got your DOT card I would not worry about it.

I am sure it will be covered somewhere down the line but nothing more than info about eating well, exercise, and getting rest.

Congrats on the new gig.

My grandfather was a trucker all his adult life for the now defunct (I believe) Red Star express.

I just talked to the director over at SAGE and she told me that they aren't eligible for Pell Grants because the number of credit hours is not enough.

DOT physical is pretty easy TBH.. they don't even play with your wang... It's really if the trucking company you go to has any doctors when it comes to COPD and so on.No proof but that is one issue I didn't like about Prime, was it seemed like they were telling far too many people that they had COPD. It almost makes me think their in house doctors are getting kick backs for forcing drivers to buy those $1k machines and pay for the monitoring.

This is what I'd say about that. It wasn't a issue for me, but I know drivers who are now forced to use those COPD machines and if they don't use it as much as their supposed to use them Prime will make them sit and not move until they've used it the right amount of hours.. even on their home time if they don't use the damn machine then try to come back Prime will not give them a load until it's been used..

If whatever company you go to tries to tell you that you have to use those machines, quit right there on the spot. By all means go to a real doctor and get checked out to see if you really need it, but if one of the company doctor's tries to push that on you quit right then and there, because once you get that on your CDL medical card it's nearly impossible to get it removed.

Basically the DOT is pushing the COPD testing heavily on these companies so they have to make sure they are compliant and if you are over a certain body mass or smoked it's almost certain they will make you do sleep tests at any of the big carriers.

tox screen is clean.

????????

Wow interesting and education thread for GFY.

It's been a week. I called my recruiter at Roadmaster three times today to touch base and get a status update. That motherfucker did not call me back. I will try again tomorrow.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

hey crockett.. if your serious about getting a van/sprinter for your exp don't buy a ram promaster because the leg room is for shit. I have a 2014 right now and on those long trips (over 500 miles+) my legs tend to cramp up alot and its hard af to stretch out which can turn into ankle and feet swelling if you don't keep those feet moving.
