They test for sugar concentration...thus diabetes.So wrong! The DOT exam does NOT, in any way, test for diabetes!
Management?People who use drugs need jobs too
If someone's drug use is putting people at risk at work, or in the public, then yes I definitely welcome drug testing and possible discharge. That applies to management weenies as well. Regardless, many people take up the SAP and come back, eventually.As a union member you shouldn't be welcoming the discharge of other members. If that's some thing you're interested in I'd suggest turning in your letter to become management.
If you're interested in the rules for Drugs/Alcohol. Start at page 95 of the NMA and work your way down.

This is just my opinion.How is it that we’ve had a few drivers in our center that have had accidents happen and no drug testing has been done what’s the procedure for them to drug test?
This is just my opinion.
I don’t think the company would drug test you after an accident, regardless of your sobriety. They’d let the police do that if they felt it was necessary.
If I was running a trucking company I would drug test you only if you showed up stoned, drunk or rumored, because you are a liability.
After an accident though I would be trying to cover my ass and blame the other driver for causing the accident not trying to prove my company was at fault and my driver was ed up behind the wheel.
I would say it depends on the accident and whether they are trying to prove you were sober. Most trucking companies I know of other than fedex and ups will only drug test you for liability reasons or government regulation.Makes sense but every company I know other then UPS (and maybe FedEx) where they drive a company vehicle does a drug test after every accident.
So you think it's ok to drug test someone because of a rumor? Gossip?If I was running a trucking company I would drug test you only if you showed up stoned, drunk or rumored, because you are a liability.
Unless you are in feeders, that is a blood/sugar testThey do, at least here in order to get a DOT card you have to piss in a cup. 1 of these days I'ma gonna get the hot nurse to hold "it" for my test!

Package car drivers are not tested for drugs unless there are special circumstances

You're mistaken. The test is for proteins in your urine not for drugs. Also @scooby0048 is correct it's for a wide rang of health issues but also for diabetes. (This is not the same for CDL holders . They I believe take a drug test every DOT. )

I have never been tested for drugs during my DOT physical. I have been ran-domed a time or two though.Not for pkg car.... only feeders.
Yep.
They test it right in front of you....
Probable cause or a DOT reportable accident.

There is a huge difference between the test done for the DOT physical and a random drug test. During a random drug test, you will be asked to initial several forms saying that you saw your sample divided into 2 containers and the correct labels put on them. You will also be asked to empty your pockets and leave the toilet without flushing when you are done..

You'll know if it is a drug/alcohol test.
What kind of drugs are you testing out?
