So...I Just found out that they DID NOT EVEN TEST ME. They cancelled it After I told them right before, that I may fail. I was terminated due to self exposure. Although they have SAC, they still terminated me
-
what's SAC? My apologies I thought they tested you.don't know what exactly they put of your dac,i spose refusal which in the eyes of the trucking industry is basically the same thing as testing positive.

Substance Abuse Counselor / Counseling is my guess.

so you snitched on yourself - lol

A positive drug test doesn't mean you're a "drug addict". Pretty dumb though to lose a job over it. At best, irresponsible and immature...Lonesome Thanks this.

No, but continuing to do drugs after you get a CDL and are trying to make it your livelihood is.

When it comes to the relationships between the feds , the states and the carriers it is important to understand minimums and maximums. If a federal rule states a minimum a state or carrier can not go below it, a maximum can't be went over. In this case there is no rule mandating a CDL driver be put in the driver pool for testing if said driver does not operate a CMV on a public road. HOWEVER there is no rule prohibiting a company from putting a CDL driver like this in the pool. Unless you can find a federal rule mandating a company not do this I think your going to have a hard time winning a lawsuit. So I think this falls under caveat emptor.
Lonesome Thanks this. -
Michael White - I don't think you should've been tested, but only a lawyer can help you now. Get a GOOD ONE (spend the money), get a recommendation if possible (or check with OOIDA for a lawyer that specializes in the transport industry), and see what they say.
Don't wait, get going and find out if they can do anything to help you. Good luck.Michael White Thanks this.
