screwed by DOT rules and regulations

this is just crap. please keep up posted and good luck to your hubby....i am with 6speed...shoulda requested they do a blood test

 

The addy is the same as where I did the whiz quiz.
It's the clinic address.

 

Bravo young man. Another guy that gets it.....healthcare professionals only care for the bottom line. Your health is secondary. And it's only going to get worse. Greed and profit trumps common sense and genuine caring of the individual that requires proper healthcare.

 

By the way to the lady whose husband got screwed out of a job, I would certainly seek professional help with regards to the law. If you look at the regs, companies can't just willy nilly request that you take a random. They can't just think up an excuse for you to take the test, just because they feel like it.
it has to be before, during or after a safety sensitive procedure, and as you didn't state the circumstances to your situation, may I suggest that you investigate that criteria.
It can be a very important factor in your defense. Don't assume companies know what they're doing with regards to the law.
many are absolutely clueless.
Good luck

 

Off topic a little, but i think i would rather deal with high blood pressure than any medication that causes me to retain that much water. Can't be good for the kidneys or liver.

 

Until an MRO contacts him it isn't a positive. And it won't be a positive IF there is a valid medical reason not to produce the sample. Firing is a company policy, not FMCSA regulation, that is no safety sensitive work(driving)until the completion of D/A program.

 

Something to consider. Go right now or A.S.A.P to someplace and pay for your own test. Getting a test on your own from a DOT certified place will only help you in the long run, either getting a new job or in a court of law.
