    1st of all, let me clarify, there's a 1% failure rate, keeping in mind, there IS a 1% margin of error. If I was an O/O still, and I was notified, right here,,:bootyshake:,, it's one of the few benefits of being an O/O,,:biggrin_25522:

    Im enrolled in random drug screening and no, I don’t pay one of those fraudulent 3rd parties that call my phone everyday making up lies. My sister is my point of contact and is authorized by the Med facility I’m enrolled at. It can be your friend if you chose or whoever you want. I have all the legal papers.
    It costs 60 bucks a year to be enrolled. Pay one of those harassing fraudulent consortiums, it will cost you a few hundred

    As an o/o, you need to join a consortium for random selection. There's also a couple of unwritten exemptions you have as an o/o. You can read more about it here: Five Things About Drug Testing For Owner-operators Most People Won't Tell You

    If you join OOIDA your can join a consortium thru them. You get a card to carry stating OOIDA membership anotther showing you belong to a consortium. Never been asked for it but can be required to prove it.
