how do you feel about random drug tests?

[trplnkl]

For me, it's really simple. I don't use illegal drugs(and never have) because I see no reason to. I have never seen a valid reason to fool my mind that the use will make life better. I drink beer because I like the taste, not for the effect.

reality is for those who can't handle drugs.

But 555, aren't cigs doing the smae thing, in a way? Can you remember life before cigs?

STUG-
I agree.

Carbon monoxide from the cigarette smoke binds to hemoglobin 4 times greater than oxygen thereby depriving the hemoglobins ability to transport oxygen to ALL your tissues.

Depriving your brain of oxygen also creates a "high" however momentarily.

That's sorta like comparing a tea cup poodle to a bull mastiff.
Smoking cigs have never made me talk like Spicoli or have the desire to eat a twinkie the size of a Volkswagen or drive in an erratic manner. Don't get me wrong, I know full well smoking cigarettes is not good for anyone, but I don't believe they are the major causes of all the health problems "science" claims.
As far as remembering life before sigs, not so clear but that probably has more to do with time than smoking.

But they are still dogs.


I was thinking more along the lines of, do you remember when you didn't have the need for a smoke?

Would you want a PC driver/feeder/shifter driving those vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol?

i agree they should drug test preload.before i retired the preloader i had must of be doing something.in favor of drug testing.

It can take up to 3 days for the central nervous system to recover from a good drinking spree, irregardless of when you do it.
I have no idea where you got that factoid.
Good thing I have never gone on a good drinking spree.
I prefer a good daily maintenance dose of beer after a long days work.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.
True.
Physician heal thyself.

Satellitedriver-
Maybe I know people in the drug and alcohol rehab business.

I never claimed to be a physician or, your words, "....drink more beer than 99% of the members of Brown Cafe...." (something to be really proud of).

It must be wonderful to be so smart.

Lets see, all UPSCO employees are random tested IAW UPS/FAA Regulations, now I have figured out why several people always question my posts. I thought all UPS employess are drug free but reading the post it seems that only some employees are random tested.

You mean you've never had the fire fall off and land in your lap or got an ash in your eye while driving?

Nice stretch/twist, but no where near what we were talking about.LOL
The influence of drugs was the subject.

 

[govols019]

The ash in the eye has to be the worst. Man, that hurts.

 

[Feederdrivermack]

Complying with Federal Government regulations.

Federal regultors give you 3 hours to produce the required amout of urine.

I am sure you do, has their counsel helped?

No prideful boast,just fact.
The point that I was trying to make is that I am flawed, but I never drive dirty.
As to the physician comment, I was speaking of myself, not you.
Please read what I posted.

It is fun to have an IQ that is 4.4 times larger than my belt size, but that does not make me "so smart".

If UPS tested randomly, i would say; 90% would be found to have some drug parafinilla in them.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I seriously hope that you are wrong.

Hmmm, I'd have to divide it up by job to guess.

Trailer loader/unloader 90%

Preloader 60%

Package driver 40%

Feeder driver 0%

Management 40%



(All in fun!)

I think that 40% estimate on Package Drivers is a little too high.

 

[airbusfxr]

Pilots and mechanics 0% or then your out.

 

[dilligaf]

I agree Scratch. I would say it's more like 10%.
