Hell they sell alcohol at truck stops people get up hung over and drive. Only thing you got when you wake up is the munchies and most people are going to wake up and eat anyway. Lost my job from a random from a weekend of smoke on my vacation time, thats why i got random, some bullshit. Only bout to do the sap program cause i dont want to be a hand anymore. Make money just fine but fuck. Shit tiresome
I had my CDL for 6 years now and i recently stop driving trucks to smoke weed.I started drinking alcohol more and considering that my mother deals with alcoholism I didn't like the path i was going down.i would rather be a pothead then a alcoholic
If they drop the federal scheduling you’ll be able to smoke on your off time. Company can’t come in your home and try to enforce policy for something that’s no longer illegal. New rapid testing is needed anyway for all these 4 wheels driving high.
The answer to change the laws is simple. All drivers from all companies should go on strike until they change the marijuana federal laws. 2 days without trucks moving will bring the country to a stop and they would be forced to change the law. It’s really that simple.
This conversation made so much sense and gave me closure it sounds like my marijuana use is an insurance liability as long as it is in my system because and dot doesn't know the standard because if you smoke and drive you will have more focus as you drive and less stress and longer living drivers no one wants to drive because dot ain't shit and insurance and the company want no fault in any accidents so they make sure they dug test the driver to remove fault from themselves asap
I've driven for 20 years, I think it's stupid. I can get hungover drunk you get in the truck and as long as my blood alcohol level is under 04 or 02 I can't remember which I can get in a truck and drive groggy and hungover. I can't go home Friday night take a couple hits off of a pipe come to work Monday. How does that even make any sense? I'm sure they have a method of testing to where they can tell if you were actually under the influence. It's just control
I have a CDL and I smoke herb everyday but it's easy too pass a drug test the only way I can get caught is a blood drawn they just need too legalize it I am a reasonable I only get blazed on my time and not driving I think federally is too just take it off the piss test list and not classify it as a drug
Congress needs to get off their ass and de-list cannabis as a federal drug. That will go a long way toward changing this, though things have to change at the state level too – even in states where it is "legal". Better and cheaper testing needs to be developed too.
Imagine if you got an alcohol buzz on a few days ago, were perfectly sober now, got behind the wheel, made a mistake, got pulled over, got tested, and they could show that you had drank alcohol in the past few weeks? And you got a DUI, or fired from your job for drinking a six pack a week before you got behind the wheel?
Pretty crazy.
You could smoke meth, wait a few days, then drive, and not have to worry about a ticket or getting fired.
Im 60. Everyone that I went to high school with that smoked pot died younger, car accident, went on to hard drugs. You will never change my mind. It will ruin you life or kill you or someone else sooner or later.
Fuck cdl rules they need to even the playing field and test like they do alcohol. How tf can I just blow to test hours back for alcohol then it should be the same for marijuana. So fucked up
Alcohol should be illegal but the statistics dictate ( or at least promote) the idea that marijuana is in deed safer. I understand their idea that because weed stays in your system ; you can't determine the degree in which you are intoxicated but weed should not end your career and or your livelihood.
So when you smoke weed you aren’t high the next day, hometime I can drink and hometime I will smoke weed. If I’m fired that’s the industries loss. And not an industry I wanna be apart of anyways lol. Y’all are out your mind. Good luck finding anyone to work for you.
Hey iv got a question. My job I currently work at is offering to pay for me to get my cdl license to drive a 10 wheel dump truck with air brakes and and a day cab 40 ft granite blocks to be sawed. Basically it would be just around town doing local pickups. I’m already hired with the company so where else besides getting my health card would I have to take a drug/urine test
Hypothetically, some gets a positive test, swears up and down there’s no way, assuming it’s a false positive, how is that handled? Before knowing it’s a FP.
I like that y’all seem open minded!makes me wanna maybe consider driving for you
I would rather have a trucker smoke a joint after work then drink a 12 pack & then wake up and drive hungover.
Why truck drivers don't fight this?

But they will do cocain
Just drive for one of your homies who have their own truck. No application! No drug test! None of that bs
I just got a ticket 392.4a for drug possession,
I have a court in January. Could you please explain what should i expect from this?
Canadian truckers that dont leave canada can smoke weed and the accident rate isnt going up or changing at all
The system is backwards lol you can drink booze but not smoke some tree on your day off
It messed up that truckers can't sit at home off duty n smoke a blunt without putting thier jobs in jeopardy
What’s crazy is that weed is the one drug that you might be better at your job

Thank you for this! Here’s a little something for you: https://youtu.be/0W6Jj9pjUbM
i would be driving a truck right now if wasn't for this dumb rule!
I would never work high but the ransoms would get me
Can't put my future on the line tho for weed

No wonder we have a trucker shortage.
DOT should make a law where you can smoke weed only after you are done driving for the day
As your dispatch and management team are getting blazed daily 😂
Why is he hella close to her bruh hahahahah
i cant believe they cant get a test that can determine if u r hi at the moment or its just in your system from the weekend
my buddy failed a test and he is driving again just many jobs discriminate against him when they run his record etc
so messed up u can drink a bottle yet u cant smoke a j after a hard days work to get a good rest for the next day what a shame
I have cdl but cant drive because i love weed.
btw fuck this video, were gonna smoke. fuck off tools.

They need to makw it legal for us truck drivers and come up with a device that shows when you smoked, like a breathalizer for alcohol
Fuck cdl rules they need to even the playing field and test like they do alcohol. How tf can I just blow to test hours back for alcohol then it should be the same for marijuana. So fucked up
Thank you all for taking the topic seriously. Most people do not seem to have the patience for the idea that any trucker ever smokes weed at all.
I get away with Kratom look it up
If you failed a drug test during a fatal accident you'd go to prison for vehicular manslaughter.

Or you can just buy a bottle of quick fix…
