Got an email I was selected for a random alcohol test from my consortium. It’s New Years Day, and I’m not working this week. No testing facilities within reasonable driving distance is open today. The consortium company is also closed. What do I do? The best I can think is they wait until tomorrow.

Im guessing I get a “reasonable amount of time” which means major holidays are excluded?

If you've been off duty you'll have to wait.
baha Thanks this. -
You can only be picked to do that type of test when on duty, not the drug test it still must be done, send a e/mail to tell them you are off duty at time they picked you just to cya

Dave_in_AZ, Bean Jr. and ZVar Thank this. -
I agree with baha. The notice does say, "reasonable amount of time"..
Pretty hard to submit to a test when no one is available to do it. Just go test somewhere when you are scheduled to work again.
Plus they don't know when you opened your email. Unless they read your post. -
I wasn’t even going back to work until Monday next week due to the weather. It’s not a big deal to go blow in a tube. The testing facility I used in town closed, so I have to find another one in their network I guess.

emergencies happen 24/7, health care facilities are always open. at least, up here. -

i mean what do the police do when there is a wreck, and the drunk is in the hospital?
they gotta have a kit.
