10. Yeah, things have changed
Drugs are still a part of the industry, but it's not nearly as prevalent as it used to be.

Most trucking companies subscribe to a service where they can keep tabs on you. They can report all accidents, incidents, drug and alcohol policy failures, and such. I think it's called DAQ, but I'm not sure what that stands for. So basically if you fail a drug test it goes in your DAQ report and you get fired. It follows you around for the rest of your life or at least every time you apply for a trucking job after that. Most companies won't touch you with a ten foot poll if you've failed a drug test.
