You don't smoke while you're working and driving I rather hire 10 people who smoke weed than one person who drinks.

[@patrickd.9401]

Don't drive and smoke of course. But drivers drink when there off duty so if weed is legal why can't they smoke when there off? What's the difference

[@AWesker99]

This is actually a wink and a nod from DOT. If you fail a saliva test you either smoked in the past 24 hours or you're a chronic heavy user.

[@ispeakenglish2603]

The oral test only detects THC from up to 48hrs Good for the smokers

[@wetwilly8425]

Exactly. Making it easier not harder.

[@JonJon046]

You do not know that until you see it implemented. They can find a way to do however far back they want

Thats the entire point of that article to help marijuana smokers be able to use on off time

[@BulletBoyGaming]

@@JonJon046no they can’t. Saliva doesn’t hold THC for longer than up to 48hrs

The sad part is that people gotta tell people not to do illegal things in a truck. Hell driving period. Most definitely lost faith in people in America lol. I remember when i first drove for western express, them fools come in there hot talking bout they gonna beat it. They go in and get turned around quick messing up their cdl over ignorance. But on the good side, it’s keeping the wrong crowd for driving a large vehicle that can cause way more damage.

[@Goku_Kiyosaki]

you can have not smoked weed for 3+ weeks & depending on ur body fat you’ll still test positive & it’s sad cause a lot of ya are alcoholics but ya real quiet about that & I know most of ya drink on ya off time. They should get rid of weed in the testing pool tbh it’s stupid.

[@geekedup9254]

Does anybody here know about hauling fuel especially for marathon ? If they do hair follicle testing or urine dot test

[@BulletBoyGaming]

Oral Testing is 10x easier to pass as a weed smoker than pee/blood/hair. The fact that trucking companies wanted to make it harder by making hair test dot accepted form a drug test. Looks like dot said nahh we are going the other route. If weed wasn’t federally regulated then I believe DOT would have it set up like Alcohol. No consumption 8hrs prior to driving.

[@craig8194]

No drug No alcohol No Promiscuous sex!

[@micclay]

There's plenty of newcomers that can take their seats.

[@tomwilkinson3761]

I think they should put breathalyzer test in trucks i don't want some alcoholic on the roads!

[@jayb8823]

It make it easier, not harder lol these guys

[@JonJon046]

[@speaker_vibes]

[@therealtruckerbrown]

Rumble /tbuncut

[@prolific_outlaw3057]

Weed is not drugs.And why is not alcohol not frowned upon.Alcohol makes you more impaired than anything.Alcohol is drugs.now that’s Conversation we don’t want to have

[@Runitup84]

Cool

[@carloslopez-kh1pi]

Guys there doing oral test to keep truckers in the industry that use only on weekends because drugs are detected with a less cut off time than urine test so its basically being done ti avoid losing drivers but yes i on board with drivers shouldnt drive inpaired there needs to be a better way for testing

[@thomaspowell1128]

Remember drugs have no part in trucking.

[@luchiani99_81]

Weed smokers trying to come in and play both sides of the fence let alone both sides of the road! This would be terrible for trucking. Trying to have they cake and eat it too. Yes TB disgusting 🫣

[@thomaspowell1128]

Right big weed

[@sdot40k]

I don’t think y’all know this, but you can smoke the night before scrub your mouth with peroxide and then pass the test. Oral testing would be bad for you guys argument

[@thomaspowell1128]

Wow, my God synthetic spit

[@r.fultonimprovementsr.fult8381]

Thank you for standing on no drugs and driving... I’m not even a trucker but I can appreciate you for saying it

[@patrickd.9401]

Bro call need to chill, u don't hear anyone crashing by smoking weed . But u hear that shit all the time about people who drinks. Yall really need to chill with that. And yes weed isn't a drug it's not processed like cocaine .

[@NathanH-kx1ns]

Yes and alcohol needs to be banned all together … no driver should ever have a drink not for any reason… not even on days off .. just like the smokers

[@johnbear296]

[@Icantevenstandit]
