dot physical/drug testing question

Depends what's rolled in the paper. Tobacco no....weed yes.

 

you just wait it out, usually they can pre screen it while you're there but not always going to happen.

 

what do you mean by pre screen?

 

and of course I mean tobacco I said cigs not joints

 

If your test is positive, the doctor will call you for an explanation, if it is negative, they will not. It's the old adage, "no news is good news."
Test results typically take a week or two, depending on the lab.

The cutoff concentration is 50/ng. If it is below this level then the lab must report as negative. If it is at or above this level then the lab must do a confirmation test, the cutoff for the confirmation test is 15/ng. (DOT Rule 49CFR Part 40 Section 40.87)

 

If you need to ask about drug results stay out of this industry!!!!!


Tons of drivers smoke....shouldn't be a problem.

 

had one screen, the girl took a small sample and placed it in a vial. I asked her what that was about, she said pre screen. if it fails there, they let you know right away. that was quite a few years ago though. Not sure if they do that anymore, or if it was normal across the board.

it wouldn't be a good thing either way. a fail is still a fail.

 

I don't do drugs at all now it has been 3 or 4 months since I have I have I am just nervous about it is all

 

well I have taken 2 of the at home drugs test in the past month and have passed I even had them sent to there lab for a better check my ng level was only 18
