    I had that same drug test results issue with my new company. Took almost a week to get the results to them. I didnt mind the two week vacation I took at home though. I needed it. I picked up my rental car and got my hotel reservation today. Leaving in the morning for Shelbyville Kentucky and my new and last job. Will start my own new thread on Monday. Good luck to you and da goat!!

    You will be in a new truck before you know it.
    They don't run the units that long.

    No just tough it out. Worst part was a hand cart loaded with weights. You couldn't get any momentum because they had it purposely on carpet so you had to gut it every inch.

    It would seem the labs are a bit backed up as of late. What used to be 24 hr (or less) turnaround times have now extended those digits (2 and 4) to between 2 and 4 days. Can't fault any company for that right now, just pay attention to how they treat you while waiting. In fact, I have a driver waiting (at home) right now for results, as we have gotten smarter about this and send them the tests to be completed before travel, thereby not wasting anybody's time. That way they get here in the afternoon/evening, go to the hotel, and then spend 1-1.5 days in orientation before heading out on their first load. This guy took his test Thursday morning, so I hope to have it back this afternoon and get him started tomorrow (he only lives 90 minutes away from the terminal).

    I, too, took the test on. Thursday before leaving home. We thought we had it covered, but SAV was extra classy to not only house me but to also compensate me.

    Wild Donkeys in Goldfield roaming the streets, especially at about 5am.

    Saw lots of wild life, not the casino kind, the real kind. In Wyoming saw a whole herd of Elk. Beautiful.
