Hello all.
Got my self into some trouble a couple of weeks ago and need some advice since I can't seem to find the answers from google.
I went in to work to get the paperwork for my renewal on my physical since it would be expiring soon. Unfortunately I had forgotten what the physical entails and was ill prepared. More specifically I forgot about the urine analysis test and had a completely empty bladder with no liquids consumed that morning.
So I tried explaining this to the nurse and we decided that I would just drink water and wait till I had to go. After about an hour and a half I was told to come in the next day. I didn't think any thing of this and just said okay and left.
Unfortunately I had other errands to run the following day and figured id just get it done next week. My weekend ends and I call for a load and find out that I've been fired since the clinic reported that I "refused" a drug test.
So I need to know if its still possible to get another CDL job or if I just screwed my self. What would I need to do to fix this?

I've never had a drug test with a physical. They test for diabetes only as far as I know unless it's something that your company asks for specifically
tscottme, Opus, truckdriver31 and 2 others Thank this. -
That's what I thought but for some reason they reported to my work that "i refused a drug test" even though it wasn't a drug test.
truckdriver31 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -

Titus transport. I tried explaining over the phone but they said there was nothing they could do. Tried calling HR in Texas. Couldn't get a reply
truckdriver31 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
I’d text or email exactly what you wrote here to my dispatcher/driver manager, and follow up with a call.
truckdriver31 Thanks this. -

Some carriers request a drug test along with a physical. I figure the OP knows this......I also figure from the story......just the crazy coincidence etc.
OP go see a SAP do the required hours of rehab for lack of a better word and find a carrier that doesn't report to DACEldiablo, jamespmack, exhausted379 and 2 others Thank this. -
Should’ve made that top thing to do next day, doesn’t take that long..truckdriver31 and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
Every physical I got at Concentra, a urine drug test was also required.
Maybe the companies I worked for requested it; I don't know.Last edited: Dec 4, 2019
