    Hello everyone, if anyone knows an attorney who specializes in drug and alcohol policies dealing with CDL drivers, that offer their services to the DRIVER, rather than the COMPANY, could you please send me the referral.

    Um, could you be more specific? Like, did you fail a random because you had a poppy seed bagel? Or, maybe a post accident screen came back positive for alcohol because you use hand sanitizer constantly due to OCD?
    We need more background information.

    Why bother even asking. He's either a drunk and/or a stoner. He finally got caught (good!!!) and now wants to try and beat the system.
    A bit of advice, take this as a wake up call, get sober and in a few years of being sober then go looking at what is needed to get back in this industry.

    OP, these trucking companies are not afraid of lawsuits. Trucking companies get sued all the time. Trucking companies will either have a lawyer on staff or have a very close relationship with a law firm.

    Why? Because trucking companies get sued for $500,000 for a minor fender bender. So they know how to handle lawsuits. They will drag it out for 2 or 3 years. Do you have the time and the money to pay your attorney for 2 years?

    So why don't you tell us what happened?
     
    Mudguppy Thanks this.

    There are such things as false positives. Or maybe the company is calling a refusal when driver arrived late due to heavy traffic. Or maybe driver was ignorant and took a Vicodin from an expired prescription due to an abscessed tooth.
