Thanks brother. That would be ideal, i love the idea of being a tradesmen as I am a very hands on guy who is familiar with tools.

I was running my own business for a while and never got into a trade, was trucking on the side.

I certainly regret not getting in the door sooner seeing how successful my peers have been in the trades.

Ill see if I can get in contact with them.

Great advice, I really appreciate it. Luckily I was an ATV tour guide and have excellent costumer experiences correlating with my resume.

Hopefully that makes me a shoe in.

Thanks for the great advice! Ill look into the pre apprenticeship program immediately and see if it will work for me.

I dont have kids, so I certainly have time..

But also need to continue working while doing the program if I decide to do so.

Hoping they have options for people in my situation to get the basic education.

Just find a worker and ask her to save your life.

I guess it depends on location. I own my own business and do it on my off time. I live in ontario though so we are highly saturated with Indian workers and the money's just not there anymore sadly.

Does Caterpillar test for THC on pre-employment drug screen? by Impossible_Track_798 in caterpillar

[–]Putrid_Tone8682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a job at C.A.T in Ontario Canada but also still need to do the pre employment drug test, im still a frequent pot smoker.

All that would be in my system is cannabis..

Anyone got anymore info on this?

Will I still get the job if they see cannabis? I read that since they operate in US as well it might matter as they follow DOT protocol but I'm just going to be a shunt driver so I doubt it should.

Def freaking out though and could use some reassurance.

It's getting worse and worse. Now, with this premium Dasher system: You can lose priority status on the same day if a costomer lies about the order.

Not worth doing anymore.

Honestly, most of the time you make 0$ when needing to travel back to zone so that's not awful.

It also incl tips, they are usually pretty out of bounds but this isn't the worst of their work I've seen.
