The only reference I find for there being a 2 hour limit is the one I quoted from: http://www.dot.gov/ost/dapc/testingp...m_brochure.pdf and it calls it an urban legend. The only rule I find says proceeds to the test site immediately. See: §382.305 kc0iv

I have a question?
I think the company is supposed to drug test me when I first started working there, but they never did. I am doing anything illegal by driving? since they never told me to do a test? isn't it their responsibility to tell me when and where to go test?

There are plethora of prescription drugs that are not included in the BAT 5 so why do drugs that are included in the test? It's just stupid. Understand the rules and play by them. You can blast down the road with a head full of Oxy and never worry about failing a random drug test.
From what I have heard, the prescription (and non-tested) drugs are far superior to any "street" drugs. |
