    What does "must provide pre-employment drug/alcohol testing", does that mean my long form and med card or do I have to pay for a one. The one I have is less than 9 months old!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wording's a little vague, but bottom line, YOU will do a wee-wee test, and pass, before they hire you.

    The company is a small one the owner told me (I must provide a negative pre-employment drug/alcohol testing in accordance with the FMCSR) . I was wondering if I had to pay for this, because he said provide a testing. I just don't have the money to pay for the testing. The company has about 7 trucks and I really need the chance.

    Couple hundred,no its around $50- $80.You can go to a local walk-in clinic and get one done for $50 bucks.My local county medical clinic charges only $25 bucks,you may want to call your local county's medical clinic might be lot cheaper.

    Just make sure they are FMCSA certified or you'll be wasting your money.
