    The fleet manager handled your Random UA ??

    I thought DOT UA had to be done at authorized clinic type of places ?

    My last random was three weeks ago. Actually had to get it done after dropping a Hutch load and had to go to a local clinic. Rolled on home after and was fine. Only spooky thing about the randoms is the fact that I started going back out to a few of those party bicycle rides up in Boulder this year. The danger of a "contact high" is pretty steep.

    Head of safety actually… he said he pulled me randomly for a random test. small company so I called him the fleet manager because he kind of played that role as well. Part owner of the family company. Tests new hires right there himself, But yeah I thought a random I had to go in some official place but he conducted it right there.

    That can’t be a legal DOT test. Hopefully this wasn’t a good buddy trying to get a look.

    In the oilfield the drug test person would sometimes come out to location and lock it down. No one leaves until your tested

    Random twice this year for drug. Before that, hadn't had a random in more than 5 years. Never had a random alcohol.

    As long as the collection agent has been properly trained and the facility meets the code, here is nothing illegal about in-house testing, many carriers do this. Many carriers have their own breath alcohol testing devices as well.
