    Makes since just never thought about it before.Has many failed? People never think they're going to get caught so they have one night of what they call fun,I call it a stupid move.

    Dumb #####.I have had many randoms in my day.Then after so many in a row I was beginning to think I would always be the target because the company knew I was against drugs and knew id pass every time.Every company should do a test after vacation.Don't need that kind on the road.Wonder what drug he failed,probably pot or crank.

    I have a solution to all this random testing. Now its a bit complicated but I think you might be able to figure it out.

    DONT DO DRUGS EVER

    whether on vacation, whether in colorodo where its legal, whether your not working for a week or 2....Just dont use them! If it truly is for pain, then get a prescription. If you are self medicating after your prescription ran out, your an addicted junkie.

    Oh, and the reason he needed pain meds was because he crashed his quad while riding DRUNK.

    To me a junkie is defined as someone who shoots up.This case more then likely it was pot.Anyone who enters the work force should know better not to do any illegal drugs of any kind and should not have to be told not to do drugs.DON'T DO DRUGS are just words and only a suggestion anymore.

    Well then maybe not a "junkie" but is other post imply he was using pills of some sort or/and worse drugs. I don't do drugs so i don't know all the nicknames, but he seemed to do all of um at least once reading the other thread.

    And yes they should know not to use drugs. But there is a difference between a coworker at pepboys (years ago) smoking pot working a retail job and a truck driver using. Neither should, but one is way worse.

    I don't do drugs either.Use to smoke weed,acid and speed that was back in my stupider days long before I started driving trk back in 1980 was the last time.I agree no matter where you work one should know better and deserves to get fired.
