Amid what Goldstein described to me as a trend from drug testing among non-trucking employers, I wanted to learn more about why freight was suddenly embracing a federal database. So, I chatted with Craig Fuller, CEO and founder of media company FreightWaves, to learn more about what happened here.
Fuller also argued the database is actually quite an obvious idea. Before, there was no way of knowing whether a driver you just hired was already fired for cocaine by a previous employer. "Let's say, Rachel, that you were driving a truck and failed a drug test. Let's just say it's pot. The fleet is going to fire you. So guess what you do, you get fired. You're gonna go down the street and go work at Jim Buck Trucking and get a job there.
A few"mega-carriers" dominate trucking, and their safety standards may be so stringent that they test hair follicles for illegal substances. But the theoretical Big Rachel's Trucking, which employs only myself and a few buddies, is probably is not using top-of-the-line drug testing standards.
As nonsmoker, I think the cannabis industry is a good investment opportunity.
