Soon if you can not do test within 3 hours you fail, last one I did they told me right after walking out of jon and it took 4 hours. it will get rid of more drivers this way.
-
Last test I took it took them 2 1/2 hours just to call my name. Does that count against me?
RoadRooster and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -

The new drugs that they test for are in schedule two generally.
Truckers given this medicine in the ER for acute pain injuries etc are generally OOS until it's tested to be out of the system in approx 3 days or so after the last dose given.
Most ER's nationally have recieved not long ago information from DEA that they will not prescribe more than 7 days of opoids to people who demonstrate medically a use for it, and then only enough to get them to a pain management clinic who will take over the care for the duration of the injury up to 30 days max.
Also in particular several opoids such as Oxycontin will be taken out of market as of this month in some cases as of Jan 1 2018 so that XTampaZER is a replacement medicine with technology built in that makes this medicine unable to be abused in any way. If you tried to melt, soluable in fluid or crush, it will totally and completely destroy the pain medicine within it and become useless chemically to the abuser.
In short, the Nation has a intent in each and every state to restrict this medicine only to those who show a need for it and only for that length of time which is very restricted.EZ Money Thanks this. -
