Time to lawyer up son.

You left the test site. Did the clinic staff release you to go outside? These people have to follow the rules and there are no gray areas that they want to flirt with. You can go ahead and sue the clinic if you find a lawyer to do so, but I just really don't see that you have much chance on anything.

yea, those of you who say that a law suit will go over as well as a turd in a punch bowl are probably right. I'll see what they have to say tomorrow when they're open anyway though. In the event that a suit won't fly, I wonder if there's any other recourse I have to salvage my reputation. I don't want to look like a reformed druggie when in fact I'm not a druggie at all. If I can keep my job, I'll be happy. I'm not sue happy... all I really want to do is go back to work and earn a living, but I wonder if there's something I can do to fix my record.

you can dispute anything on your DAC report......but I think you're in a bit of tight spot on this.....I believe condo cruiser had the right answer in that the door or threshold is where the "testing" site ends.......talk to a mouth piece talk to your boss see if you can get another test done....that's all I got man......good luck
CondoCruiser Thanks this. -
I would call your DOT field office. This list is numbers specific for regulations Q&A and they can tell you a whole lot more.

in case anybody was wondering, I got my job back. I can't say who my company is, but the safety director is a former driver, and a very reasonable person. I'm back in the driver's seat tomorrow. Thank you all for your help and advice. It is most appreciated.
Lilbit and rocknroll nik Thank this. -
