I did drug testing for physicals for 4 years. If a tester did not expose their belly,back and calves it was reported. They failed and/or was retested exposing the hole business while urinating. Expose meaning only lifting up their clothing breifly. I had caught many people hiding suregent urine in portable bags . There are a lot of things that people do and hiDE that it always surprises you. For instance, not exposing their stomach during an exam to hide the scars from diabetic needle injections. Hiding needle tracts on arms. Not accusing, but we are adults. Get the job done. Keep the pubic safe from duggies. They arnt doing a cavity search.

True people will try to cheat to hide whatevers.....Worked with a guy he was 1 of our welders in the 80-90s he was a cocaine lover.....Everyone knew it, so he gets popped finally for random drug test. Parts guy (also his buddy) takes him to be tested....... His test comes back, he is Pregnant! lol I heard later they stopped by his house real quick for his wife's urine in a baggy he hid in his pants! dumb people! Can't do the time? Don't do the crime!

I'm not a man, so I'm glad I don't have to through THAT part. But being a woman, we go through a LOT of probing in other areas that are VERY unpleasant. So I can understand the malaise. But it being a physical....you get undressed and put on that gown. It's just the way it is.

If they didn't look at your body some where I guess they could just do an interview over the phone. It's a physical. Physical look and touch is the exam. They are not a portable CAY scanner. Have fun. Drop um ;-)

I didn't drop trou for my physical. Neither did my boyfriend, so it can't be a gender thing. We had ours done privately, so my only guess is that some companies choose to do a more thorough physical.

OOS:

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

"surrogate" urine- Good post Julie- couldn't figure out what you meant, at first.

I did drug testing for physicals for 4 years. If a tester did not expose their belly,back and calves it was reported. They failed and/or was retested exposing the hole business while urinating.

Sorry, spelling is poor. Good with patients not management.
