[QUOTE="pickup, post: 527016"] some thoughts on drug testing. Drugs do affect your driving abilities ( see assorted episodes of cops) I remember in the late 80s or early 90s, it was mandated that steroid testing for n.friend.l. players would commence the season after the announcement of said testing was announced. The next season, many players showed up noticeably slimmer and less muscular. The threat of the testing encouraged the desired behavior. A similar phenomenon happened just a few years ago in baseball with implementation of steroid testing that carried major consequences ( 60 game suspensions for starters) . The result: many players (who were suspected steroid cheats) showed up noticeably slimmer with no comment on why their physiques suddenly changed. As for getting away with going cold turkey for seven to 10 days and cleansing it out of your system, that could work for urinalysis tests but some trucking companies are testing hair samples as well. One inch tells the story for one month. So with these trucking companies , you could not be under the influence but if you fail their hair analysis tests, you are considered under the influence. I wouldn't be suprised if one day, ups went the hair analysis route. It is a more expensive test though [/QUOTE]
