Question about Roehl and drug testing . . .

You could just refuse to have a hair test..it is not required by DOT nor can a positive test result be put on your "record" in the DOT data file as a fail..It is not a "recognized" method of testing..

 

Right, because a beginning driving job certainly doesnt expose one to thousands of other vehicles every day, so what's a little recreational dope?

 

Sure you could shave everything. Then you will be marked as a refusal and sent home. Beginning drivers can still drive 80k pounds. I'd tell your "friend" this isn't the vocation for him.

 

true...and the private company...roehl...can refuse to hire you if you refuse to take their 'unrecognized' (wrong btw, but i digress)....hair follicle test. So there's that

 

If you've got to try that hard to dance around a drug test, clearly you should be doing something else.

 

They only water board when you're out of route on a toll road.

 

So what page in the FMCSA book is it printed that a hair test is OK to take in place of a UA..??

 

hey i know.the Op,or his friend,could look elsewhere for employment and would then
a) not be subject to a hair test;
b)drive a truck that runs better than 62 mph;
c)not have to join, after the fact,all of the negative roehl threads here on this forum.

tada.

 

Well then I wish him/her luck in their search..
