    What is there to expect when you are in the drug consortium? Do they call you in every week, month, year or never for a "random" drug test? I just got out of the military so as long as no ones standing a foot away and staring at my #### trying to make conversation then I'm good. I've never done drugs and was just in the military so I'm not worried about passing, I just hate the awkwardness. Thanks

    Every drug test I've taken for this industry, they give you a cup and you go into the bathroom alone to fill it. They tell you not to flush and not to run the sink. No one will be examining your junk while you wizz so stagefright won't be an issue. On the DOT physical, however, a hernia check is standard procedure. You will be fondled while you turn your head and cough.

    Ya I've already got my physical and everything. I was more wondering about the drug testing you sign up for.

    Lol I hear ya Nedrudt. I was in the military and that's one thing I never got used to. From what I've heard about trucking and other industries I've worked in the military and possibly parole officers are the only one's who test that way.

    I read somewhere on here that when your an O/O in a consortium testing pool and you get called in for your random you have up to 30 days to complete the test. I have no first hand knowledge of how it really works so it would be nice to get this information verified by someone with first hand experience or knowledge of the process.

    Is the requirement to need a drug consortium that your trailer has to be over 10,001 lbs or is it 26,001 combined truck and trailer?
