    you can fail a drug test without taking it if they find drugs in your hotel room or on you.

    Did you fail a drug test in that situation, or violate company policy?

    Yea I hired a driver when I had my triaxles, done the simple hows your driving record? Oh clean no tickets. So can you be here at 5 in the morn? About 10 met him at the pit took him to doc office past drug screen ok we have a keeper I thought. 2 days later was looking the trucks over and fixing little things found a glass pipe with more than residue in it, a bag with some in it and other stuff that freaks me out. Then while I'm hunting his sorry butt insurance company calls me his DL is suspended for dui. I had a copy of it and his social security card as an employer is supposed to have two forms of ID. Insurance company also tells me he failed 1 drug test at previous employer done the SAP thing and was reinstated then failed again and let go. I guess what I'm getting at is small guys like us don't check things like DAC. But I do now and get them insurance approved before putting them in truck. Or did glad I got out of the dump truck business.
