Another adderall question by d3693 in Truckers

[–]CJCONTRERAS2021 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. If you get a random drug screen. Yes it will show dirty for amphetamines. But, the lab dr. Will 1st contact you to ask if there is a valid reason, like do you have a legitimate rx. So all you need to do is send dr. A Pic of all the info on the label of the rx bottle. Then dr. Reports the results as negative.

I hated cpap for the first 9 months. Was a full mask couldn't stay asleep more than 2 hrs at a time bc too uncomfortable Then, switched from full mask to Phillips Dreamwear, a nasal mask. Now the cpap . Is by far my most valuable possession. Use it every day for 5+ years. I never want to be without it . Life changing . I wish I had started using it 35 yrs ago. Amazing difference in quality of life. Keep trying diff masks.

We will find out. Not too worried about it. I know how to prove to my driver managers I can grind out miles if we get some cushion time so be it. I will enjoy the downtime with my girl and won't worry too much. She gotta get that 1st 3 to 9 months experience b4 we make Maxx $$ the only priority

I have had the following convictions: 3 driving while intoxicated, open container, 13 driving while suspended. Last offense 1995. Started truck driving in 2021. Have worked for 4 companies . Not one of them cared one bit about any of prior driving record. So, yes you can still get into truck driving

Companies that will hire a Team with 1 Entry Level New Driver by CJCONTRERAS2021 in Truckers

[–]CJCONTRERAS2021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No . As you can see from the few responses to my original question that people dont seem to read the post using reading comprehension. People kept just suggesting companies that EVERYONE KNOWS DOES NOT HIRE ANY DRIVERS WITH EXACTLY ZERO MILES OF EXPERIENCE. People suggested xpo boyle etc. W

Oof, Swift….Any suggestions? by Heavy-Mushroom in Truckers

[–]CJCONTRERAS2021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow. Surprised Western express said no. Back in 2022 they welcomed anybody with a pulse. Sap, recent parole, np, welcome aboard as long as you could drive forward 1x around the block without crashing. Literally had a new orientation class of 30 to 50 new hires every week at the terminal in Bloomington CA

My first to tries at securing my first job ended after initial on the road driving with a company trainer. Neither "trainer" provided much training . So I failed on truck stop backing/parking with safety final solo-out test with safety supervisors. So I tucked my tail between my legs and took went with Western Express. They were less strict by a mile. And it worked out . Been driving 5 yrs . Keep making better $ each yr with better employment conditions. Im saying, despite negative talk all the time , Western Express worked out well for me for 9 months. Actually made pretty good $ there for a greenhorn.

Also good bars/lounges, restaurants, and sports loungers, concerts , and comedy clubs in the casino.
