I did submit to a hair sample and absolutely no drugs were detected. The hair sample was 5.2 inches long so they had plenty of months to verify for. My last negative random was just on 4/17/08 so you would think that would prove it but no. Three months ago I was arrogant and ignorrant about these drug tests (a lot like most drivers). I knew that I don't do drugs and thought that made me safe from ever dealing with this. Well, surprise! It didn't matter! Since then, I have been schooled on the process. When I started this thread it was to try and help other good, clean drivers. Not get involved in arguments about whether or not I am telling the truth. Believe me or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I am a faithful believer in God and his plan. He allowed me to walk this path for a reason and I trust him to see me and my family through it. I trust Him to also see all the drivers and their families that have been hit with a FALSE positive, through this mess. As for your comment about twice in the same company....I think you have misunderstood what I wrote or perhaps I wasn't clear. The other and I do NOT work for the same company. We never knew eachother before meeting on a message board. What is the same in our stories is the basis for the questions in my original post: Same lab for sample a Same lab for sample b Same MRO Same certifying scientist Neither of us ever used drugs Marijuana was the detected drug in both our cases A lot of you seem to think that I have pointed the finger at a single person in this process as being "the devil". When I look at the list above I see a lot of different hands that the samples went through. They appear to be all the same hands in both our cases. I am not saying foul play or improper practice. I am saying that this is a big coincidence that 2 drivers from across the country, working at different companies, would end up in the same exact situation with all the same players. The SAMHSA and the DOT would need to investigate to determine what might have happened. I have no idea where the problem occurred, other than there was one. HELLO...I don't do drugs, never have, never will...if a sample taken from me tested positive it was absolutely an error. That is a FACT that I am certain of. Obviously, none of you have found yourself in my shoes....yet. I am praying that those who have see this message. If they don't want to talk in the open forum they can PM me. However, I do mean those in my shoes, you are clean and were at the time of the false positive. No one should have to go this alone and despite some of the comments I have read, there are more of us than anyone here wants to know about. I, in no way want to make it easier for dirty drivers to stay on the road. For those out there all I can offer is to say get clean and stay that way. Don't get behind any wheel until you are completely clean. The life you save may be your own, or that of a loved one. I am not anyones judge but I am in the situation I am because of many drivers using drugs and trying to cover it up or beat the system. It is to the point that clean drivers cannot defend themselves against errors, so I absolutely am not interested in helping out a dirty driver. Drugs destroy lives and users need to consider the cost, they do extend past them. Believe me, I sometimes wish that I could return to my arrogant ignorance about this subject, but I am trusting God in his plan so I know my eventual destination will be better than that place. God Bless! |
comnking,
Rev is voicing a legitimate concern, and as a long standing member, he is invested in this community. You have a reasonable request, and we understand your wish for investigation. We also have our interests, as these discussions are open to the public. As a message board, opinions and facts are going to be presented, relevant or not. I hope you can realize there is some level of predisposition in regards to this subject, on a truck message board. Obviously, the more open and accommodating you are with us will help your cause more. We pick up on certain emotional statements, and it's not unfair for us to wish to take a closer look at what this is about. We each have a certain allowance I believe. How about we all back up a little here, and not begin placing emotions into this discussion, and try to keep this from degrading. Until someone can come along and offer the support you request, it may be best to limit debate. |

You're also going to have to realize that in this industry, drugs and alcohol are looked on pretty severely and people show up claiming false drugtests all the time. So you're automatically going to be looked at with extreme suspicion. Only you know if you are truly innocent...the rest of us will keep our own opinions on the subject. But we are entitled to those opinions, just as you are entitled to speak out about the perceived injustice. Just keep the names out of it. Thanks. |
