Retaliation and the FMCSA.

I sure did and I would do it again if I had to. One I filed against an owner op another for bad equipment I sued him for wrongful termination and my last one was a construction company for not giving me a drug test when I startedm

 

The construction company just didn't want to lose you on the first day.

 

Great job!
I've used the labor board a couple times with a 100% sucsess.

 

I know and if the owner wasn't such a creep I may have just kept bugging his daughter to give me the test.She does the hiring.

 

Now we know why companies are so hot to pre-employment drug screens

 

She probably figured you were high since you were demanding to be drug tested.

 

Well I've never heard of a company not giving their drivers a drug test.That's one thing that should be at the very top of their list of things that must be done before letting them drive.

 

There are way more man-children on a trucking companies pay roll than your post acknowledges, SIB.

Some of the neediest, whiniest people I've ever worked around - truckers. I don't know how their wives tolerate them.... then again, I know a bunch of guys in miserable relationships. Not saying I like it, but I will say: if their life sucks you can bet your last $ they'll try to drag you down with them. Misery loves company; company drivers (of which I'm one, but I try to maintain an awareness so as to not project that misery unto others.)

 

Is a driver disqualified if the company did not pre-employ drug screen? I mean why raise a ruckus about it in orientation? Why raise a ruckus about it at all?

 

Because its the law that's why.
