    Ooida’s CMCI notified me when I was stuck at receiver for 5 days, told them to call and talk to guard if they didn’t believe or I could send photos, they rescheduled me 2 weeks later.
    They keep wanting to inform someone but me, but no one has any to with trucks but me, they even wanted to know if I had a bro or sis I could let them inform me, told them the truth, sis does meth and is a pill junkie, not a good idea

    I use nastc's. They send me a notification. I have 30 days from then to get the test done. Which is good. Because they certified my wife to take my samples and gave her everything to do it. So I just wait till I'm home next and pee in a bottle and she sends it off. Super easy and convenient

    Lol, I just want everything up to par, in case of an audit. First time is usually a warning. Second time is a big fine. Nothing keeping them from placing a fine for first offense during an audit. Hopefully I’ll never get another audit. Really helps to have everything in order.

    Wow! That is easy. Might check them out. Beats finding a clinic and waiting for an hour.

    They had told me about that when I acquired about their fuel discounts.

    There is a convenience associated with that, but I can't remember the exact amounts but you had to be a member there was a monthly fee and it was way way more expensive than just beonging To A Consortium.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    Ya it's more expensive for sure. I think it's $30 a month? But for me the convince is worth it. Plus for new nastc members you HAVE to be apart of it OR attend their class in Nashville
     
    Badmon and Rideandrepair Thank this.

    mine is threw ooida. they mail a notice to my wife, i think we have somewhere around 30 days, normally she will just send me in the first day im home after she gets the letter, its pretty painless.

    if they inform you directly you have something like 2 hours so if you have someone you can appoint to that its far better.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.
