Hi Sir - DOT SAP here. Thank you for posting this video and sharing your advice and experience. For those drivers who do test positive, listen to this man. A violation is not the end of the world. Most drivers DO go back to work. Just learn from the experience and help those along the way.
Hey bro, thanks for the video. But i will like to help you out by saying that you don't have to just stick with truck driving in order to help salvage your CDL. You can apply for charter companies that need a lot of help and you gotta tell them that you're a SAP driver and some of these charter bus companies will help you. I'm with a charter bus company right now. I thank God that they helped me out.
I've had my CDL for 6 years wasn't even driving was off duty 5 days off they called me in for a random after 2 days being off I went in tested positive got my sap program my RTD went to work for a company out of Chicago had to quit because the diabetes blood sugar too high couldn't get my medical card got my medical card back can't find a job nowhere went to work for another company out of Chicago all they want you to do is drive drive drive drive drive drive drive drive make them money drive illegally more hours than what you legally can and don't pay you
@@sunsetsmoke962 I work for dollar general directly on their fleet save up that down payment in 3 months grinding 🥴 i pickup my truck in a week if it’s finally ready 10k down I’m looking to lease on but I ain’t got the best mvr dui in my personal going on 4 years next month most companies want 5 years clean 😩
I like ur video shows hope all appreciated . Lot a theses companies want sap completed. Im on step 4 . Findin a job aint hard. Finding an sap job is a job
Hey bro, I am an experienced sap driver. I've had two DOT test being discarded because one was to diluted and the other had the pH level just a bit off. At least, that's what I was told. But from those two mistrials, the MRO did not put it against me. They just asked me to retest. So make sure you're clean. And remember, a diluted test is NOT either negative or positive. Don't let anyone misinform you and keep your head up high.
Dude that is cold how they can do that. I didn't even know that was a thing. I remember when I joined the military and pissed all water and they accepted it
Thanks bro I'm going thru that process right now good looking on the list. This clearing house shit is stupid I got 6 years driving experience clean record. I smoked some cbd nd it fucked me up
Hey bro, I been working on my SAP for a year and a half now. I'm supposed to do 2 full years of taking randoms, which will check off my 6th step. But I will need another 3 years after that if I want to apply for a School Certificate to go along with my Class B. But hang in there, bro. We gotta spread this good news because too many people don't know about all the new rules since January of 2020.
I’m on my 6th step with a return to duty status, and man it’s so hard to find a job when you are in SAP. But hopefully one of these companies will work with me. Thanks for the info bro
Imagine not be able to smoke as CDL holder but you cam be a raging alcoholic sinple cause it can be tested om da spot tonsee if youve had any. But usually by the time test happens it to late cause the truck driver done blew thru a red light n wiped out multiple people. Make it make sense
Yo..This sap is kicking my ass..I went like 3 months..no trucking job..I took a job at this company Super Ego..bout to turn there equipment back in tomorrow..I appreciate you for listing companies who hire sap drivers..
Some of these companies sound too good to be true. Walmart, FedEx and Schneider. These companies won't even hire if you have one preventable baby accident
@@NoName718. got to keep it 💯 fam. DOT told me take the what and leave the what? 🤣🤣🤣 in my mind that’s how they said it when I failed that pre employment
Just got my cdl can’t get a job anywhere never been in sap or nothing im on probation with a whole other case pending outside of that it’s annoying cuz what I even get my cdl for? Can’t get a job smh
Well you’re in a pretty fucked up predicament bro. It’s not over for you though it’s just more hell though. Go to super ego just to get your experience. You’re going to have trouble there financially but you made yourself a hard bed and now you have to own that shit. You will be an owner operator and you have to get yourself to Chicago for orientation and get your hotel. Be smooth though. I heard u can get some decent money over there if you know how but 99% of people that goes there leaves with horrible stories. You can get your experience though.
I had the list written and read from it. You may have to just listen to the video again and write them down or speak them out to your phone . It’s very short. Thanks
I’ve got more companies to add Moldex, Specialized Services, and just about any company out of Chicago. Just go on Craigslist jobs Chicago. Then keyword transport and they will all show. I’m going to make another video also . I appreciate you watching.
Hey thanks for the information,I have a question I had a DUI on my personal car while being a cdl holder,almost two years ago,I'm trying to get my cdl back does that makea me a sap driver? Thanks again
@@marioojeda4868 No it is on your MVR not your clearing house. It will cost a little more to insure you as a driver so don’t be surprised if it’s harder to find a job than before though. I’m sure you can still get with a mega carrier with no problem though. Good luck driver.
Same well I got my CLP applied for prime but had to leave the testing site due to a family member battling cancer so the put refusal on clearing house instead of allowing me to retest later that day
Yeah they denied me too. From what I hear the companies can take on so many sap drivers at a time and they don’t announce it so we have to stay on their necks and build relationships with their recruiters to catch that window because there are a lot of crappy companies who take advantage of sap drivers. Try Specialized Services Logistics aka time definite. They’re out of Sumterville Fl
@@sunsetsmoke962 lmao nah when u pulled out the reading glasses. I'm sleeepppp. But fr I took a little Delta 9 got popped. I'm starting the SAP program tomorrow. People like u give me hope
@@sunsetsmoke962 that is good to know because I'm still contemplating on getting my CDL A with a company that overlooks that. My biggest question about Walmart will have to be redirected to Walmart drivers (i.e. how's the training? How long is it? What did you learn about the turn-around rate? Is there a union? Etc). But thanks for informing us. You did your due diligence and looked out for your peoples. 🙏🙌
You're out of your lazy, truck driving mind. You gotta think about those who made a mistake and still need to pay their bills. If you committed a crime and came out of jail, should YOU be on punishment for at least a year?
So you think that I should not work. Because I had to leave a drug screen because I got a phone call that my husband passed away in a motorcycle accident. You're selfish
This video isn’t for you, it’s for ppl who has failed or refused a drug test. Going through the sap program gets you clean and you don’t get high after completing unless you don’t care
@@sunsetsmoke962cfi wants 1 year after sap completion to do it they do hair follicle so u have to be more than a year to pass hair which I call bs because clearinghouse doesn't recognize hair test even if u fail it so idk why companies do hair
@@brianlester3688something ain’t right I went straight to CFI for my return to duty test in January and stayed with them a month before I came to Sweet Express
@@jorgegaytan3012 when you fail a urine analysis test and have to pay to be in the substance abuse program and all the hood companies with new equipment that treat you like a human won’t hire you any more. What you’re going to stay away from.
Not necessarily. CBD products never contained THC, but lately THC has been added & the packages are not labeled properly. People who are used to taking CBD to relieve pain & relax are getting popped on Randoms because they think CBD still has no THC.
@@MrMozez777 bro don’t even address the miserable commenters. As bad as my page needs the traffic I pay those mofos no mind. He don’t get enough lap time from dad or hugs from mommy and it shows. Let him be miserable in his long nose pete all by himself
@@sunsetsmoke962 eye feel you fam. Unfortunately there are people like them at these Insurance Companies & Safety Departments that are not looking at SAP Drivers on a Case by Case basis even though SAP Professionals are. These judgemental people at Insurance Companies & Safety Departments are lumping people who ingested CBD product that was not labeled properly with actual Weed Smokers. No driver with 19yrs experience, Clean MVR, Clean DAC, Good CSA Score, No Criminal record, is a Veteran & has ALWAYS passed Pre-employment Urine, Hair Follicle Test, and Random Test; should be UNABLE to find another Trucking Job because they ate CBD gummies they thought didn't have any THC in them.
