    Let me start with this, the manager (we'll call him Fred), his late 18 year old son died last month of a heroin overdose.
    So Fred and me (we'll call me Bubba) the other day got into it about pre-trip inspections, they demand you start your pti
    3 minutes after you punch in (SP+ uses Stromberg time clock/ also ADP payroll fyi).
    So, we also use Zonar system for pti, and counting load and post-ti)
    But Zonar time is later from up 9 minutes I have documented on drive-cam.
    so I was put in retraining yesterday, and sure enough the training instructor started pti 1 minute late, (SP+ has no issue wasting time, paper to write you up for 1 minute).

    Back to the beginning, So 2 days ago Fred makes a random drug test on me, (he says random, it's FOR CAUSE), Guess I passed not fired yet/ no phone calls from Advantage Medical Testing.
    I think Fred is a head case, perhaps a paranoid, whatever else (we all agree he's a pathological liar).

    SP+ has (their opinion) policy of not paying my 3 weeks vacation if you quit that year,
    So I'm burning all paid leave, 10 call-off-sicks, might toss in a(n) OJI.

    :biggrin_255:

    BUT, you can punch in 5 minutes early (you won't get paid, same deal when you go home 6 mintes late? TS).

    In other words, he feels he's being targetted for "random" drug testing because he argued with this guy who was apparently distraught over having just lost his son.

    If that's the case then this manager needs to take some time off, not take his grief out on his employees.

    The deal is, they're firing me for a couple minutes, ( took the long way to the drug testing site and got paid /hourly payroll).

    it's their $75.00 for the drug test, not mine.

    Kinda get the impression you're not positive you'll pass drug test. "Guess I passed". Should never be any "guessing" to it, IMO.

    "I guess I passed" lol.
    No truck driver should ever have to guess that they passed a drug screen.
    And a double blind normally takes a few days to process.
