I just joined, 1/17/18
Not sure if this is the best forum for these questions, because I want the most eyes reading it. If it is not, please tell me which one would be.
About 8 years ago or so, I failed a random drug test while employed at a large, midwest Reef carrier and was fired....{ Side note, I am not a user, it was a stupid crazy week, and I just got caught up in the moment, so don't pass judgement on my mistake.}
Anyway about 3 months later I found another job with a tiny three truck company in VA, which did not care for or follow DOT regs. They never ran a background on me, but they did pull a 5 year MVR, AND his insurance company covered me....
A little over a year later, the DOT revoked his Authority, "had nothing to do with me".... Like I said, he did not care for DOT regs or paperwork.
I have not driven commercially since 2012.
In 2014, while living in VB, my lic was suspended for a year because of a refusal. I attended the court ordered ASAP class...{ My First and Only DUI Related Offense }
I was eligible for a restricted lic, provided I had a interlock device installed at my expense, and paid the $100 monthly fee for the 12 month duration. I decided not to, and took the 12 month lic suspension. And since 2014, I have not had a drivers lic at all,
# 1...While I was pulling for him was my CDL suspended/revoked with the failed drug test?
# 2... I ask, Because I had been pulled in to several coops for inspections, one in MD, on 95...one in CT on 84 and one in VA on 64, and not one DOT said my Lic had been suspended.
# 3...What is my next step on getting my CDL back.?
# 4...Will I have to retake my CDL test?
# 5...What are my realistic chances on getting another CDL job?
# 6... What is reported on my DAC, and how can I see or get a free copy of my DAC?
# 7...Two of the companies I worked for are out of business, Arrow being the other one, the other, " Central Reef was bought by Swift, which I know merged in to Knight, and the 4th, is Prime, which was where I ****ed up.
I look forward to reading any constructive advice you may have.
