Random DOT BREATHALYZER tests now?

You can get called in for a random drug or alcohol test..or both at once.
If you were under the limit you'd test negative.
If you were reporting for work you can't consume any in the previous 4 hours.
Been that way for a while.

 

Nothing new

 

I’ve had to do both before, then I got called for a “random” drug test 4 times in a row, once was 3 weeks from the last.
I went in there slurring speech, tripped over an invisible rug, knocked all the stuff off the guys desk.
He can’t test but for what your called for.
I didn’t do any fandoms for almost 2 years.
Then LS pulled one on me with a high value load and made me stop in Gary up the road from Schneider terminal, since it was such a safe area.

It’s a trick question they ask.
“How’s the weather in Michigan?”
Me “I have no clue? I’m not in Michigan, I’m in Indiana.”
Them “Good Good, stop in Gary for a random.”
Me “Ok what if I was in Michigan?”
Them “I guess you’d be doing one there..”

 

I got one of those the first month it started. Far more convenient that urine analysis.

 

That is one good reason to never answer a phone call from work while on home time.
Once they give you the speech, you have to go for the test. Usually within one hour.

They usually won't do that during home time.
But I have had a couple times when they do it just as I come on duty from home time.

 

Other than giving you time to prepare for it... nothing.

 

Anyone ever have thought's about asking to see the proof that you were randomly chosen for drug or alcohol testing?
Twice i was confronted walking out of the restroom at the terminal to go have a pee test. Luckily i was able to provide the sample.
I was not on the best of terms with the safety director and he tried several times to get me fired, but failed each time.
