[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 814821, member: 18044"] UPS can't drug test a package car driver [U]just[/U] because he got in an accident or had an injury. Package car drivers are not included under Post-Accident Drug Testing. Even feeder drivers, who are subject to Post-Accident Drug Testing, are only subject to testing if the accident is "serious." However if UPS has [U]reasonable[/U] [U]cause[/U] to believe the package car driver is on drugs [U]and[/U] that drugs contributed to the accident or injury, then the driver is subject to Reasonable Cause Testing. The accident or injury alone is not reason enough. - - - - When doctors prescribe pain medication, they do not normally prescribe it in suffieient strength to get you high. Normally it is strong enough to deaden the pain, but not enough to make you unfit to drive. Only in some situations would driving be wrong. No one should [U]automatically[/U] assume a legally prescribed low-dose pain killer makes you unfit to drive. [/QUOTE]
