Need advice about Marijuana testing for CDL drivers

I guess you can smoke up anxiety free if you have a million dollars....back up plans for everything....

I just spent last 30 years as a home toker...Its been a lot of years of always worrying, feeling like a piece of crap when i realize on and off that at any moment, my paycheck is gone...which would end me, and my ability to keep my house, and food in it..

That afterwork J always won...Untill now a days....I just fricken quit...Im a man who has carried fake wee wee around for many many miles man...I needed all of it, and thankfully the stuff worked...Its not going to for much longer tho...It'll be hit or miss, just like computer viruses vs the anti-virus people...So, no chance of longevity...Also, with testing getting better and companies moving to 'observed samples' and hair testing...Pot just still doesnt mix with trucking...I pulled it off for a great long while, but at great effort...sure wish i liked beer better!! LOL...In hindsight, it was NOT worth the long term stress and worry

So this old recently x smoker says NO....Dont even bother...You;ll get used to it, it'll become habit/ritual, and you'll get busted...Dont even start, one of them..

If you wanna a good paying job, and be able to enjoy the weeds, those jobs are out there...Almost everywhere you can be a pot smoker and not have a problem...

Maybe you can become a person who developes a test!! A test that can accurately tell if someone is high on weed!! If you do that, then all the ships captains can smoke!! You could be tested on the spot like alcohol and would only come up dirty if you were actually high...

Failed CDL Test 2nd Time

In your brain, pretend your the jolly green giant and visualize yourself lifting the front of that dam trailer and pushin it where you want it...

Do it now for an hour....

That parellel move seems silly now doesnt it?

Just think of it like that for as long as you can....then, on the day of the test, the jolly green giant got lazy, doesnt want to get up and move the trailer by hand, so he's gonna use this funny looking tractor thingy and push the trailer where he wants it

Do it as slow as you can and still be able to see where the trailer is going, sometimes, if your slow enough, youll have time/space for an extra correction without doing a pull-up

Another thing, if you have been using mirrors on both sides, try using only one.....If you have only been using one, then try both

And finally...consider LTL?....LOL....dont gotta back doubles!!
