Profile For Rob H.

So to clear up the question (I'm not real fast sometimes). I smoked in the past, way past like 12-13 years ago. When that question comes up do I-

A. Lie about it and absolutely keep that fact to myself from now on or

B. Tell the truth and hope they don't hold it against me?

I'm thinking B is the correct answer but I am fully aware of how the past can bite you and sometime the truth does hurt.

Honestly idk the answer to that cause lying will get u in trouble, and apparently telling the truth will also. But if I had to do it all over again I would have told them the truth.

Do you have your CDL yet ??? If not, then you may have to go thru another school, and NOT tell them what you falsified on your Swift app...I know its not quite kosher to do that...but crap...a person has to make a living...they are treating you like Paula Dean !!! Thats just so wrong. But alot will depend on whether you have your cdl yet.

yeah I already have my cdl, what worries me is that trucking companies share a database telling your trucking job history, and swift told me that it would show up as me breaking company policy. I almost feel like the only thing to get me out of this is to lie again which I don't want to do, but like I said I have children to take care of so idk

alright here's my story in a nutshell. I went to swift academy in Tennessee , everything went great passed all my test, got hired on and was out with my mentor entering into my second week with him. Previously several months ago when I filled out my application, under the question have u ever smoked marijuana I replied no. Later while with my mentor I made a remark (jokingly) that I wish I had some weed to settle my nerves while driving ( it was a joke, and I was new..there big trucks people) The next day my mentor told our driver manager about the remark and she told the terminal manager, and they pulled me in the office to ask me about it. While talking to the tm I was also on a conference call from someone from corporate and they asked me if I had ever in my life smoked marijuana and I told them the truth yeah I have. They asked if id b willing to take a **** test and have my belonging searched and I consented and said that was fine. After deciding to have me not take the test or have me searched they ended up firing me for falsifying my application. This all happened last week, and since than I have filled out numerous applications for a new job, but when I tell them what happened at swift they all tell me they cant help me. Can anyone please tell me what to do next, I don't do drugs, I don't even know why I would put that I hadn't ( other than its not something I like to brag about) but I did. What can I do from here on out I have three little girls to take care of, and now these companies think of me as a pile of **** for this... Idk what to do help me out someone thanks and God Bless
