Sharp Transit Jefferson GA. will take away your livelihood with no remorse.

As soon they inform you about it,you have to go within a few hrs,my last test was in the middle of a home time(new dispatcher fault)normally this things are done when you are available for a load,but safety had no choice but to go ahead with it,since i was notified.Definitely get a lawyer.

 

When I'm off-duty, so is my phone off-duty, I don't answer it.......I learned a long time ago to keep my work and family time separate, good luck to you though.....

 

Just search these forums and you'll see it happens a lot,
You should have took the drug test, but instead you refused and now have a refusal on your record.

 

i always keep a few extra gallons in the truck. so if they call i just tell them to grab a gallon and take it to the lab. last year they tested me so much i started bring all my urine to the office. all drivers should bring all their urine to the safety dept and leave it at the door.

 

On the way to the beach with the family, off duty, actually on vacation and then a phone call telling you to get a drug screen. NO WAY! First of all, an employer, legally, does this in a manner completely different than what is described here. Unless you are involved in an accident and even then, a law enforcement person will accompany you to the test. When you report for work, "on duty", you will be told that your name came up for a drug screen and you will be provided transportation and you will accompanied by a "company personnel" to the screening location. This is the proper way. Now I know that in 75% of the cases, this procedure is not adhered to.

Now if this had happened to me, I would give Paul Taylor a call @ Truckers Justice Center(Phone number removed). There would be a whooping lawsuit lodged against this employer.

9. Notifying Drivers of Required Testing

Drivers and supervisors often quote the common urban legend that a driver has an hour or two to show up for a random test once notified. Nothing can be further from the truth. To accommodate the element of surprise (unannounced), the driver must have no inkling he or she has been selected and must "immediately" proceed to the collection site once notified. The employee and collection site take into account reasonable travel time to the facility. Advance notice negates the intention of the rules (to catch drivers engaging in prohibited activity). Drivers given warning of a test may refrain from taking drugs or consuming alcohol or have time to consume drug-masking agents or obtain a substitution. The effects of alcohol may also wear off."

Hire a lawyer. Run over those jerks like mack truck. Don't take that.

 

Why not arm yourself with knowledge. Read the green book as it pertains to your situation. Dispute the report with Hire Right citing the regulations the company ignored, or bent, or whatever.
Then like many have said, hire an attorney.
