    My point is deal with the world as you find it. EVERY conversation about drugs or drug tests on TTR degenerates into a long wishlist the dope advocates WISH existed. The industry is regulate by federal regs and the regs are free to read and they are only hard to understand if you never ever read them. It's one thing to ask a question because you need an answer now, it's another thing to hope the process will be radically modified just because it would make life easier. Why would a politician sign up to be the face of tragedy after he loosens drug laws on the operators of 80,000 pound missiles on the roads? It's not gonna happen. It shouldn't happen. It's foolish to let it happen.

    Oh, I will. Tscottme hit the nail on the head. I’ve never been in an industry where drug tests were so important. I’ve always chugged a few bottles before a test. I won’t be doing it that anymore. This new job is kind of a blessing compared to the one I messed up, more money and better benefits. Next week I’ll be driving a pneumatic tanker. Thanks for all the help everyone.

    Using a heavy dilution is often a way that controlled substances users try to pass drug screens.
    Another method is vitamin packing. Literally almost over dosing various water soluble vitamins. It overwhelms the reagents in some cases.

    Contrary to popular belief, these tests do not actually detect the presence of the actual substance. Every substance has a different chemical composition and the method of the body to process that substance. The tests look for these metabolites from processes of converting the substance.
