    They require as certain amount of tests to be alcohol and urine. About half of mine have been like that.

    You have to blow .000 or it is a failed test.

    they know all truck drivers are alcoholics and drug addicts, so you are guilty until proven innocent.

    So they pull you in and breathlize you , no peeing.

    Like you just got out of a bar and went to work and now you have a random breathilizer

    I got pulled in for a random drug test. Twice came back inconclusive, like I knew it would because I drink gallons of liquids a day.

    I cut back my liquids for them to get a 3rd test.

    I'll tell you one thing I know. You take 2 hits off a joint even though you never smoked before you will pee dirty for at least 2 weeks.

    Yep and that is why u get all the threads on here "smoked 3 weeks ago but lost my job" or something similar. I have learned thats how truckin works. U could go 10 years without a test and so u smoke joint and the next day ur getting tested...kinda like earlier this year i had my first logbook violation ever. Drove a couple minutes over my 14 clock.. And the next day im getting a level 1 inspection.. The trucking gods dont mess around ... its best to just not provoke them lol

    you mean you didn’t try to throw out there you were allowed 16 hours once a week?
    Or you were trying to find a safe haven?

    No you pee as well. If you're an alcoholic, and you don't drive sober, you will get popped.

    We have a member of the forum like that.

    If you go in and say I just gurgled with mouth wash, it's pretty evident you're trying to alter the conditions of the test. So they'll let you sit there for 15 minutes, then blow.

    No one get called in unless they are on currently on driving status.

    Then the try to see if you’ll lie, or their satellite is way off.
    “How’s everything going in Michigan?”
    “How should I know, I’m in Indiana.”
    “Good, good, you gotta go pee in a cup!”
    “But, I just stopped for my 30 and used the bathroom.”
    “Oh well, you can go again.”
    “Here, fill this up to the top.”

    I don't cheat drug or alcohol rules, so I don't worry about it.

    I don't cheat on my taxes, so don't worry about that.

    Just kind of stupid that way.

    I don’t do anything like that either, I just hate being treated like I was, either you do this or else.
