Profile For Tony W.

Back in 1996 my Navy career ended with a failed drug test. Fast forward to 2014 I was pre-hired by Werner Enterprises so that I could attend Roadmaster. Werner's recruiter along with their application asked have I ever failed a pre-employment drug test, and or in the last 3 years which was no. Roadmaster asked had I EVER failed a drug test in which I disclosed the Navy failure. After Roadmaster ended I attended Werner's orientation and filled out another online application in which I was again asked have I ever failed a pre-employment drug test, and or in the last 3 years. However they added the question had I EVER failed a drug test so I again disclosed the Navy failure. The next day I was called out of class and was told that I was being disqualified as a driver because of my failed Navy drug test, and that their policy is to not hire anyone who has EVER failed a drug test in their lifetime; DOT or otherwise. I was told that although I did disclose it on the application they got from Roadmaster, they must have "missed it". So a warning to anyone going to Werner, they do not hire anyone who has EVER failed a drug test DOT or otherwise

Is this an Industry wide policy?
