Don't Leave Your Drug Test!
Topic 32588 | Page 1
Wow, that's a pretty harsh penalty. Refusal is the same as failure, which could be a career-ending ordeal.
I guess "follow directions closely" is the lesson of the day!
Just went through this. Went in for physical and dot , got the shy bladder and waited a solid 2 1/2 hours pacing the lobby since you can't leave while trying to test XD

LOL At CRST, right after my 1 year, or so, we were on a CAT load I forget where, back east. We just missed the entry, and our DM calls me. So as we're getting turned around to go deliver, @ guard shack I call him back, I got popped for a random drug& alcohol test. Ok no problem, we swap out, and I await the Uber to pick me up. DM said make sure they do BOTH tests, Breath & Pee. Good thing he specified, because the DR forgot to do breath test, so I reminded him I also HAD to have that done too !! Was Uber'd back in time to CAT place to meet up with my co driver who had barely just got unloaded, headed out the gate.

TT On Facebook
My sister is a recruiter for a major trucking company, today she told me she had to reject a couple drivers recently because they left their drug tests and had been marked down as a refusal.
She said one claimed the place said he could leave to pickup his son and other supposedly stepped outside for a smoke.
Remember, DOT drug tests are more strict than others.
