    I have never heard of anyone having a random DOT UA, and being called at home to show up!
    I did have 5 randoms in one month after I signed an affidavit for a fellow driver so he could get his unemployment after quitting a job based on unsafe equipment, but that was they’re attempt at getting even.
    And yes I know someone is going to say the random are computer generated, probably someone who was not driving in 1995!

    I had to UA for a 5 truck outfit twice a month for #### near a year awhile back.

    Owner knew I was the only one that could give a clean sample.

    The best way to do it is to park at the casino and have a comped room ready. Then go down to the floor and play craps all night, they will bring you any drinks you want all night long. I've seen guys ordering up the fruitiest drinks I never heard of then stumbling upstairs to their rooms with pretty girls to sleep it off.

    I never drink in the truck period. I might have one drink with a meal if im going to be parked more than 10 hours.
