Well here's the issue, if you got a call from the MRO, which is the official line of communications, and you blew it off, then why would you expect to be able to drive?
Don't care what the doc said, or the hair test says, we have procedures and regulations we all have to follow and if you want to side step them because you didn't take it seriously, then why should we take it seriously too?average joe Thanks this. -
I understand your pain with heroin addiction. The Saturday prior to the Monday of my initial results, my first cousin buried his 19 year old child with heroin suspicions. I have another family member who I suspect is struggling with addiction as well. My ignorance tells me that you either do heroin or not. I did not realize there was an in between. I did not mean to sound snobby in my reply BeanDip but when you live the last 9 days with everyone looking at you like a liar,,,,well you know where I am going and I apologize. I have never felt so relieved as when I got these results today. After you get a shock like this you just keep telling yourself it has to be ok, there is a mistake made and it will work out but it does not. The system in place for drug testing America's drivers does not work and I am going to make a strong statement against these collection sites and testing labs for any other drivers who may have went through the same thing. This cannot be an isolated incident.

Dont really care if you take it seriously. I came here for advice and got a lot of it and promised to let ya all know my results which I have done. I did not side step any regs just never believed them so roll on hatertucker Thanks this.

So why didn't you raise a stink when the MRO said you came back positive? I'm thinking that there is a LOT not being said, I'll leave it at that.
spyder7723 Thanks this. -
Did raise a stink. MRO said there is no medical reason for that to be in my urine. Did request a restes and the results came back the same. Judge me all you want but I am innocent and have taken the first step to prove it.

unfortunately
The drug testing system in place does work,unfortunately you got dealt a bad hand it happens from time to time.No test is 100% accurate. -
Exactly, no test is 100%. The ability of the collections and testing facilities to ruin peoples lives and they just go on with the Oh Well attitude is unfair to the drivers of this country. To say the system in place works is is untrue.

No need to apologize. I had my suspicions about your story. Addiction of any sort is not a disease of uncontrollable truth telling, and I certainly made no attempt at hiding my doubts. As for "either you do heroin or you don't" I think that is a fair assumption. Like I said, I know 2 people that have done heroin ONCE. And one that has struggled with addiction for years. But I don't know anyone that does heroin occasionally. Those three people that I'm speaking of all did heroin on the same evening over 20 years ago. I wont be surprised if my buddy dies from heroin use. He's on his longest stint of being clean (7 years), and I hope he continues.
Anyway, my point is that I've seen what heroin can do, and that is why I had my reservations about your story.
Regardless, I do wish you the best.Werro Thanks this. -
Its working as best as possible no different method will work any better.There's always going to be a handful of drivers that will unjustly fail only they won't go to any lengths to clear their good name like you did.Far as the oh well attitude,you're not going to find any better within our justice system either.Werro Thanks this.
