[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 526155, member: 6408"] The way I feel HERE (it seems I always have to qualify this cuz most seem to think I'm making a blanket statement that covers the WORLD), is that nobody put a gun to my head to accept a job here. I started here knowing what the rules were. At the time, there was no drug testing, for any, let alone feeders, where I have been for 28 of my 31 yrs. The DOT, not UPS, mandated the "random"(whether it truly is or not, I don't care), drug test. If I don't like it, I can simply leave. I don't have to work here. Sounds kinda simple to me. The ONLY problem I have with random drug testing is this: HERE(notice, I said "HERE" again), is that they always seem to catch you at the first of your run. What's the problem? I always, no matter what run I'm on, days, afternoons, nights, sleep right up until it's time to get up and show and run to the hub. Needless to say, I've taken care of business, that is ALL business, before leaving home. Hub is only 8 mins away. Do I hafta pee again, NOW? Uh, I don't think so. "Well, now that we notified you, you cannot leave our site until you DO pee". You finish the rest of the scenario. Can you pee? If you inhale a bunch of water or coffee to force it, can you limit you normal stops to two or three the rest of your run, then? Another beef. Again, I say HERE. Most of our out laying centers merely get to take paperwork to clinic and do after their run. Most other freight companies do the same. Why can't we? Again, not a major problem but where's the parity? [/QUOTE]
