    I stayed in my house 7 days straight to see if he would call and he never did, so I assumed everything was ok. 12 days later after VAC, I was fired 1 min after arriving.
    Isn't that the DOT rule? My call logs have no calls from anyone that I do not know.

    I dont think there is any legal requirement for them to call you. You failed the test....I dont think anyone cares to take the time to call you. If it were my company I would let you come all the way back to work just to fire you in person. I would especially do that if you had any company property i wanted to make sure i got back. If i told you over the phone you might just run and not give keys or equipment back.

    As much as I hate people who do drugs in this industry, I hope for his sake he doesn't get a lawyer. He is now unemployed and doesn't need to waste more money on this when he should be supporting his family (if he has one). That being said, im glad he go caught. there is no place for drugs in this industry. (Or any industry where your actions could kill people)

    4 companies I worked for, 3 at the same location, just being bought out at different times, all gave pee tests after vacations.

    His quote in another tread....4 acidents in 4 months sounds a little more then a coincidence. They will always test after fatality.

    I don't drink anything 24 hours before returning to work. Driving with a hangover is almost as bad as driving drunk. Neither drugs or alcohol should be tolerated.

    "I only get high when I inject Dilaudid or Opana" admitting to it in an open forum. WTF
     
    Lady K, Oaker, Chinatown and 2 others Thank this.
