    It's so simple, if you drive a truck, don't do drugs.

    It's no "the government", its the trucking companies who choose to test. You don't have to work for them. Simple as that

    You could drink half a bottle of nyquil, pass out in your sleeper, and be fuzzy in the head for a day and a half. It is legal though, so nobody is outraged.

    It's actually not legal, you get in an accident and the NyQuil shows up in your system you could be charged with DUI. No different from taking prescription drugs that make you drowsy

    I didn't say taking nyquil and then immediately driving. That stuff can leave you fuzzy the whole next day, especially if you take more than the recommended dose.

    I'm not either, but the ingredients of NyQuil can stay in your system after 24 hours. I'm talking about taking some, sleeping, then driving the next day and getting into an accident

    I'm not sure people understand just how much can be known by single strand of hair.

    So if you drink even casually, 2-3 beers on the weekend or whatever, guess what's going to show up when they take your hair? That you're a raging alcoholic and shouldn't be hired.
