Hey everyone! Right now im a mechanical maintenance tech but its looking like layoffs are on the way and Ive been heavily considering trucking for a while as I love driving and seeing sights. I haven’t used drugs or even alcohol since I was a teenager so im not worried about UA or hair tests, my driving record is also squeaky. The only thing that im worried about is when I was about 19 I was pulled over with some buddies on our way to a camping trip, we were planning on taking some LSD and sitting by a campfire until the cops found it. At the end of the day I was hit with simple possession misdemeanor and got a fine and 6 months probation which was completed without issue. A decade later and I have had 0 run ins with the law and have a happy life with my wife and kid, I was just wondering if I should give up on my dream job because of this past mistake or do you think I can I still get hired onto a mega somewhere? Thanks in advance! :)
