Rigged!

Well, you can spend $5,000 or more on a lawyer that may or may not resolve your problem or spend $1,000-$1500 on a SAP program and get back to work at Western Express. Only you can make the choice.

 

Then get a job, any job and start making some money to get your life back!

 

That DM don't care if you get the test done or not. He's only the messager. His primary duty is dole out loads. You had already walked out and that's what caused ish to "hit the fan." If you had called and asked somebody, anybody, you probably wouldn't be in that situation. Unfortunately, perception is reality when it comes to drugs and alcohol in trucking. You say the DM has a moral obligation to make sure you got the test done, proper paperwork and such....not really. In trucking, you'll have to cover your own ###.

 

That was a lot of words to say I screwed up on a drug test.

 

I am going to be a real ****** here, but you as a driver are supposed to understand the regulations, this is a requirement of you as a licensed driver.

There are literally THOUSANDS of sources of information on drug testing on the internet, including plain English explanation of the basic rules.

It is COMMON KNOWLEGE that if you enter the testing facility, PRESENT YOURSELF for a test, and LEAVE after that, it is considered a REFUSAL.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A SIGN IN SHEET OR WHETHER OR NOT THE COMPANY SET UP THE APPOINTMENT.

I don't see Driver's Manager defined in the FMCSA regulations, or did I miss that?

I CAN NOT FIND where they are the interface to the testing facility, where they have to hold the hand of of the driver to get them to pee.

There are specific manuals for the testing facility and others involved, I would think every driver needs to read them, especially because these testing facilities hire morons to do the intake and test, they screw up a lot and sometimes purposely.
