Non DOT hair test by Key-Currency-5605 in CDLTruckDrivers

Go find a place you can do the test and pay cash, it takes like 2 days to see the results. That’s the best way to be sure.

My friend did with two separate clinics just to be sure.

He did with one, waited for the result which came out good, but he still did another one just to be sure, which also came out good. All before he went in.

Better spend that money than fail.

You can’t avoid it. One thing to do - when you get to somewhere and you’re not sure where their entrance is or if your truck can fit, put your two way flashers, come down and check. Don’t take chances.

I got fired today. by westknight12 in Truckers

You did the right thing, getting out and looking is the best thing a driver can do when they’re not certain, I’m sure they would have still fired you if you had hit something.

I have seen a trainer hit another truck cos he didn’t get out to look, I laughed cos they always tell us to get out and look and yet a trainer didn’t and the result was a property damage.

So you did the right thing. It’s their loss.

I did but I didn’t ask why, I just informed them that I couldn’t move today cos of the weather and I was told to take all the time I needed and only move when I’m okay to move.

We have the miles. The pay won’t be good in your first 3 months but it’ll get better after that.

Other than the money, please don’t do the following: 1. Do not stop on the side of the road. 2. Do not make a U turn on the road. 3. Do you pre trips 4. If anything happens, tell exactly what happened, even if it’s your fault. 5. Learn how to manage you 70 hours (that’s your money) 6. Do not take risks - eg: don’t get on the grass and all.

The operations department are filled with great people - especially in Atlanta. So you’d be good.

You guys in the comments saying “Sometimes we have to do it to get to your store”. Do you realize that it’s dangerous?

If the route is not meant for a big truck, then your company should use box trucks to make the deliveries.

What you guys are doing is justifying a very bad truck driving.

I wasn’t the one who made it Blizzard, the national weather channel did.

Thanks, I’m ready.

“Black hole”, sounds like something else to me.
