    I think to the layperson, a "DOT physical" automatically includes a drug test. While that's not entirely true, anyone getting a DOT physical should be prepared for a drug test, usually coming next.

    On pre employment physicals it tends to be. At least we do a drug test and physical together.

    I'm impressed you guys have been very cool about this inquiry. Usually it turns in to some " go flip burgers" your a druggy thread.

    Lual and China make this place great

    Sort of goes hand in hand, do not disclose that you take CBD on your physical either. Most companies want a copy of the long form, which will have that info listed in your very own handwriting.
     
    tscottme and Chinatown Thank this.

    Come to think of it, if he’s been high on pot gummies this whole time, then that kind of explains everything!

    Is your job really less valuable than a gummy bear, eat a bag and let us know.
