To protect the dog house?

There was no alcohol in my system, just her suspicion of abuse. I passed (negative) the urine check. Only her decision to fail me bacause of her suspicion. I had mild shakes is the only reason she failed me.

I havent lied about anything, I have been truthful about everything I said. -
Questions:
on this 'surprise physical', did you take a breathalyzer? Or did someone draw blood?
See, the reason why everyone is puzzled is because as far as I know an alcohol test is not part of the DOT physical. I have never taken an breathalyzer or had blood drawn to get the physical card. Now on a random drug and alcohol test, that's a completely different animal. You blow on a straw and piss in a cup and leave.
So what exactly did you do in this exam? Be honest.Mudguppy and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
The only reason I failed is because I had mild shaking. No alcohol test of anykind. I failed for the 1 reason, I was shaking and she thought I was a heavy drinker.

Try a few second chance companies and take their physical with their doctor.
-
If you're still shaking the next day after drinking, you're still drunk. That signals a major problem for any employer, to know that you can't limit your alcohol consumption. I highly doubt anyone drove you to the physical, so that's not good, either.

Thats what I want to do, I am sober( havent touched a drop since new years) and trying to get back on my feet. Im just in a bad spot because of a bad decision.
