    ouch someone failed, if your stupid enough to drink....especially around a terminal

    I had that accident back a few months ago and I never had a single test for anything, almost a year at swift with not a random test of any kind so far.

    Picked up a broker load in Olive Branch, MS headed for Lubbock, TX.

    Currently taking a 34 at the J in West Memphis, AR. I forgot how much I dislike this place! Rude employees (at the J) and the afternoon/evening shift staff at the Denny's are the worst. The 11% sales tax is salt in the wound.

    I got a random drug test about 3 months into solo. Got a call from my DM when I arrived at a terminal and was told I had 30 minutes to report to the clinic. When I got there a driver was being "uncooperative" and being escorted to speak to the terminal manager or someone higher up, apparently either refused the test or was giving the tester some grief. Didn't want to know the full story, but the tester was a little shook up. It amazes me that anyone would put their job at risk over drugs or alcohol like that, let alone all the folks that show up to orientation sweating whether they will pass the test. Why even show up if you know there's a good chance you are going to fail? Just plain stupid.

    At a BP somewhere on I79 in PA.
    I'll have to leave at around 0230 to make my delivery in Hagerstown, MD in the morning. I'm hoping the weather won't hose me.

    I shut down a bit early because I didn't get much sleep last night and I was starting to doze off too much.
    Plus, I wasn't sure how full any closer truck stop would be by the time I got there. There are very few on my route.
    So I'll just start earlier in the morning and burn the hours tomorrow instead of today.

    And if you do show up, why cause a problem?
    That is even more stupid.
