    i seem to recall like back in the early- mid 1990's, there was a "voluntary" program for this as well.. and since it was voluntary, you could of course refuse, but they would report that to your employer.

    i spoke with the then safety manager at the company i worked at, and he said, "do not volunteer"....

    "if and when we get any letter on any driver, will will "random" him/her"..

    as it was, i was never pulled into any scale house for anything BUT a drive over the scales..

    i hope too, that the state of ME_SHE_GEN, does this to ALL licensed drivers on thier roads, as many more 4 wheelers are jacked up, than truckers

    I thought Michigan drug tests were to insure you had the minimum level of intoxication required to appreciate their roads.

    You also need to watch CBD oil it can still have trace amounts to make you fail the test

    Those pulled over and tested were probably showing signs of some driver problem.

    They’re probably reusing the swab. You do know that they’re broke, don’t you?
