    What happens if you fail a drug test with a company. Not for me no worries. My brother in law passed his initial drug test celebrated with weed(Told him he was stupid) well during his orientation a bunch of the tests read false positives so they are rescreening everyone I told him to quit before they tested him again....He did not, he is Learning disabled obviously so what happens to his cdl.

    HE will get canned and hope no one ever hires him again. We don't need him.

    Well, all the trucking is getting done already without his help, and he doesn't bring any value to the table. I agree, this is not the career for him.

    The closest he will get to trucking is polishing rims and fuel tanks at truck stops. His driving days are over!

    Nothing, unless they test him again. Then it's toast. Let's hope he's tested again before it's after a crash, or... you could rat him out.

    How will you feel if you don't and he kills someone...?
     
    pattyj Thanks this.

    Hi Nirvana, a "false positive" is treated like any other positive. It means, they don't have anything on you, except the test revealed an adulterated sample, and you cannot retest. You can have the MRO retest the sample you gave them, but the sample you gave them is the one they go on. Something is fishy there about the retest. If his test was not a false positive, I wouldn't retest again, they don't give you a 2nd chance.

    Tell him to give up truck driving - with the alcohol and drug clearinghouse his trucking career is over. His best bet is to move to Colorado and stick to driving around stoned in a 4-wheeler. They don't seem to think 4-wheelers driving stoned is a problem. Maybe not for them but certainly is for me if I am sharing the road with him.

    But now motor carriers are required to report any drivers who fail or REFUSE to take a drug test. Either way heis toast.
