    Go anywhere else besides them. Go to swift or anyone before western express. Especially in Fontana. Tons of companies in that area

    So did first day of orientation today it was all good till 2:00 when we went to the docs office i did my urine test and the lady said my temperature was too (92) and that it had to be at the 94-98 range. (WTF 2°). Anyway i said i would gladly take the test again. But she said i had to pull my pants down and raise my shirt all the way to my chest.i did not feel comfortable with that so i said i would let him watch me pee into the cup. He said no i had to pull my pants all the way down and lift my shirt. I really was not comfortable with that. So i called my recruiter and my orientation trainer but neither answered. I was there for 2 hours trying to talk with them . (I had 3 hours to retake test) so after nobody answered i just left .
    Now im worried this will be marked a refusal and prevent me from getting a trucking job.

    Yup, I'm betting that's a refusal. I don't get the whole uncomfortable thing, but to each his own.....

    You'll probably take some job to pay the bills. You probably closed a lot of trucking doors on yourself. I believe if you treated this like a dirty and went to all the classes they make you take that you could get into a truck somewhere. I know for sure in my area the local companies like chip trucks and others that they are and have been so hard pressed for drivers that they would take someone like you after the classes. In fact I saw it once here come to think of it.
