new job

That company SHOULD have an account at one of the local testing cliinics.....

I never had to pay out of pocket,........

 

You would think so , my present employer I had to pay,70 bucks no big deal, they payed it back when test was neg.

 

YEA,THE CO PAYS FOR THAT.AND ALL RANDOM TESTS IN THE FUTURE.SO STAY CLEAN AND DO A GOOD JOB NEVER COMPLANE ALWAYS SHOW UP FOR WORK AND NEVER REFUSE TO TAKE A RANDOM TEST.USE THIS CO TILL U FIND SOMETHING BETTER 10-4

 

If you have to pay for your own drug test, find another job. It is law that the COMPANY has to provide a urine test.

 

Show us the law.

 

I would'nt drive for a company if I had to pay for my own test.But I think some companies will charge you for the test and physical if you leave or get fired before your 90 days.

 

I don't care to waste my time to actually search for the print. Sorry. I have better things to do.

 

Then please don't come on here quoting the law. There are a lot of new people that look towards this board for facts and we do not want to pass on information that we heard from someone. Any information that can be used to make a decision should either be by experience or by the rules and regulations. Say this guy turns down this company because of what you've said is legal and it's a great company. He's out because of your statement that you may have heard from some other driver. It's just like the BAC for a CDL holder in his private vehicle. If you have a good reference then all is well.

 

baseless assumptions are a truckers life

 

The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 requires drug and alcohol testing of safety-sensitive transportation employees in aviation, trucking, railroads, mass transit, pipelines, and other transportation industries. DOT publishes rules on who must conduct drug and alcohol tests, how to conduct those tests, and what procedures to use when testing. These regulations cover all transportation employers, safety-sensitive transportation employees, and service agents - roughly 10 million people. Encompassed in 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 40, the Office of Drug & Alcohol Policy & Compliance (ODAPC) publishes, implements, and provides authoritative interpretations of these rules.
