- November of 2021, the New Rules for Drug Testing came in BUT the FMCSA - Gave Lead Way to the STATES. November 18, 2024, The Lead-Way will end. Read the Return to work information if you should loose your CDL.
The FMCSA gave some Leeway, allowing States to start ENFORCING the new rules from November 8, 2021. This will start November 18, 2024. ( when rules must be enforced)
States will no longer be allowed to issue, renew, or upgrade Learners Permits or CDL to such drivers - Using Drugs.
Using drugs isn't my thing. But, I know plenty of small trucking companies particularly in the logging industry that don't drug test at all.
Side note, trucking industry has gone completely to shit. Five more months for me and I'm out.
Complete compliance!
So what ain't no money un trucking ow days anyway !!!!!! Working for below minimum wages is crazy !!!!! They doing people a favor !!!!! As a truck driver you will loose everything you care about being out there on the road. Chasing a dollar..
Just gotta work for the right place or be an owner operator.
@@thesig301 Whats the right place? Most I ever made over the road as a solo company driver was 92k. Granted, I take a lot of time off but 92k is shit when you factor in the time away from your family, your health, the hours you work and all the shit regulations like this one.
@@Pilotend370 since when is $90k bad? Maybe if you live in a very high cost of living area like California then yes. If not, $90k is more than most people make, even more than most college graduates. I know UPS pays like $44/hr, free benefits and pension. Not even my engineer friends are making $90k…. Also how is this a bad regulation 😂 why should drug addicts be allowed to drive CDL? However they should take weed off the drug list.
@@thesig301 I have so many things to say but lets just start with the obvious. I work 70 hours consistantly between monday-saturday not counting the bullshit work i do off duty. A company over the road driver that makes 90k/year breaks down to roughly $23.50/hour if you factored in overtime after 40 hours like every other job over a period of say 44 weeks. So yeah, there is a serious pay issue for veteran drivers. It's obviously not about safety because if it was drivers would be paid a fair hourly wage. But, the industry would rather bring kids or flip flop wearing rookies into the industry to pay less money. The OO'S are the ones really suffering right now.
Accidents will continue to increase because companies would rather not pay experienced drivers and rely on technology.
@@thesig301 Also. If FMCSA forces a speed limiter mandate when they get around to the final ruling I gurantee there will be a lot more of us leaving for good.
Shouldn't have any issue passing a drug test to begin with, were literally talking the bare minimum. Pretty sure most all jobs run some form of drug test or they better, especially a job like this you should be aware and clean but yeah lol
Thank God I'm not a truck driver
Not a bad job.
Lay off the grass and the alcohol oh and the pills not worth it in the short run no OTR for you!
Alcohol is legal. You can drink as much as you want as long as you are sober when on duty.
Thanks uncle Steve I’m in full compliance but what if u get a tinted window ticket? I’m hearing we can have tints for privacy is it true
Only can Tint so much on a car. Just that when you going after a trucking job most companies will want to review your driving history. Are you a safe driver or a driver with a Lots of Points.
All while, Mary Jane, is legal nationwide, mushrooms are in Oregon...
Marijuana is not legal nation wide
@@davidhouse6363 you're right, but it is legal in 24 states and D.C.
Old news!!! Heard this 25 years ago.
Old news years ago but the FMCSA changed the rules to what we have now. In November 2024, back to way back when.
I bet in time the rules will once again be changed.
wasn't it always that way?
Now you will be offended a treatment program but your license will not be suspended. In November, your license will be suspended. The driver will have to go through the process of getting the license back.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor that low key crazy yet i can drink off duty at home 😂
@@rigobertoespinoza1685 talking hard drugs. Going to work drunk, will most likely get you fired.
@@truckerstevecdlinstructor of course 100% showing up drunk is a no no im on your side. Im just saying is THC considered a hard drug.
@@rigobertoespinoza1685I could probably Google it, but do they have a way to measure the amount in your system like alcohol? As more states legalize it, I’m sure there will become a way to test and everything will be based off of that. Although I may be wrong and I don’t do anything anymore and only drive a few months a year on a part time schedule to help my old boss.
No shit
Personal vehicle does not effect work ! I just got my cdl April 5th
Get a ticket in your car - you have a CDL license. That is on your CDL Driving history. Yes, it’s does effect or may have an effect on getting a CDL job
Just like a .04 is considered illegally intoxicated in a POV and affects your CDL.
If you go over 15 mph the speed limit on a work road or a school zone in your personal vehicle you WILL get your license suspended.
So yes, personal vehicle DOES affect work.
