And it's a good thing. Took my drug screen in orientation last Thursday, still waiting. It's all I need. All other testing is passed and as soon as this clears I can wait for my trainer. Excited, nervous, happy and sad ask at the same time. I just want to start making money.

Wow... That's a long time. Have you spoken to anyone in safety/compliance about it? There may have been a problem with the sample. It could have been contaminated at the lab. Most results are back within 24 hours and at the most 48. If you don't mind my asking; what company are you going with? Usually the larger the company, the quicker the turn around time.

Celadon. I'm starting to wonder if they do anything quickly.

Jay, when you see these big trucking companies move fast it's usually because you made a bone headed move like jack knifing one of their trucks. Slow and steady is good. If they start moving quickly, watch out!
