    They went to 25% in 2016 because less than 1% of drivers tested positive in the previous years. Now it's back up to 1% again so back to testing 50%. And I can't see the positive rate ever going down again.
    If you can't pass find another occupation

    Sweet. The shortest time I've been in the clinic the company uses for a random is two hours. I'll gladly sit at the clinic getting paid to wait on them.

    So 4 million truckers more or less, 1% = 40,000 high, stoned or otherwise hot drivers testing positive.

    HA add that to the driver shortage claims when the new database takes effect Jan 6th.

    Why so defensive?

    Nobody accused you of anything lol, or are you just doing what most chicks do when watching a tv show or movie..... injecting themself and relationship into the movie subject or story line?

    “If I died like that would you miss me?”

    “If we won the lottery would we stay together?”

    “If I fell off a cliff would you come get me?”

    Of course that’s just meant in good fun guy, I wasn’t implying anyone specific but we both know there’s a few reading these forums it applies to

    Nope, it would be over 1% of 25% of 4 million tested positive or 1% of 1 million or 10,000 positives out of a million random tests. Next year they will random test 50% of over 4 million or a little over 2 million drivers.

    Given the state of our medical industry I’d bet on a large amount of false positives.......

    That's why they do split samples. Ask them to do it again. Properly this time.
