Last year when getting my own authority I found out that I needed to join a random drug test program. I signed up with OOIDA's which cost me $100.

I needed to add the guy now driving my truck and they told me it was a $100 per person. Well I found out that was basically a rip off and I assumed that I might have mistaken what I heard.

Well I called back and sure enough it's $100 per person (plus join OOIDA fee). I asked how can he justify that and he said that they pay for the test.

I made some comment about that do they ususally do just one truck operations and he said he has a few large or larger fleets. I told him that those are the types that will be out of business.

Anyway there is another place I found local in Miami that charges $100 set up and then there is no cost to add members. When a drug test comes up it's only $35. They said if the drivers are elsewhere they have places all over the country for them to take a test.

More and more I don't see the point of OOIDA. Anyway just passing on the information for those that need it.

How big is the pool they put you in? The guy I leased to in FL awhile back switched from OOIDA to NASTC. They put him in his own pool :shock: :lol:

I forget the size of the pool. She said since I only have the driver and me that we will be put into a pool with others.

That OOIDA is something else.
