drug testing policy

[FLOSSTIN_LTR472]

Does anybody know the policies on drug testing for package car drivers and loaders? If a driver is involved in an accident are they drug tested and if so is it "one and done" if you fail? If a loader what are grounds to drug test?

Do yourself and your co-workers a favor and STOP coming in to work stoned. Yes, the rest of us can tell when you're friend-ed up. And yes, marijuana does affect your behavior and ability to work, even the next day.

The policy for drug testing is found in the master agreement

Feeder drivers are subject to random testing.

Package car drivers are tested for cause, usually after an accident or if they come in to work and something isn't quite right.

Mechanics are subject to "random" testing as well. Strangely, it seems to happen after vacation or a prolonged absence.

More so in states like Oregon and Colorado?

I wish there was an easy way to avoid having worrying about this kind of stuff.

Dunno about Oregon. Maybe in the future.

I just resent the degrading stuff we do to keep a good job.

Drivers I can understand but maybe if UPS would allow the mechanics to get high, meth out, and trip balls, we might actually get some trucks fixed! Hell, I'll even provide the snacks

When it's to keep people safe you have to take different measures.

I get drug tested a couple times a year at my other job. It's not degrading. Pee in a cup and go home.

As a feeder driver, I got random tested about 2 times a year. Every couple of years they make us blow in a breathalyzer as well. And yeah, they catch drivers with alcohol in their system.

I had a drug test couple months after I started driving then the next month caught me as I started with another then had to do a breathalyzer. Caught me off guard since I didn't have to the month before but I know the driving gig I have, no chance is worth the risk.

You really would want to drive something worked on by someone on drugs? You have a lot to learn about being a mechanic.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

I can also assure you the mechanics are doing the best they can with the hand they are dealt. Shall I start in on low quality, abusive driving which adds to my already overwhelming workload?
