[QUOTE="dave_socal, post: 190677, member: 5582"] Yes feeder is covered by Federal D.O.T. rules but UPS if they wanted could negotiate with the union in the next contract. D.O.T. drug testing is done when you apply, after a serious accident, and randomly. Package drivers in general don't get tested except for a serious accident like a fatality. I have always belived that if UPS would test package drivers randomly they would fire a good percentage. So I guess that's why they don't. On monday morning they need bodies in those package cars. I've heard stories over the years about drivers who would come to work on something mostly alcohol. We onced had one of these functioning alcoholics a driver get caught by cops for solicitation of a female undercover officer posing as a prostitute on route. I guess he needed more stops on his route less booze too. But that was a few years ago, this job is way to hard for a drug addict to do well for very long. I have some other stories that would make you flip but I'll save those for another thread. [/QUOTE]
