Yep, probability is a funny thing. In 12 years of driving, I've never been picked for a random pee test. My wife starts running with me under our own authority and the compliance consortium we belong to randoms her almost immediately. I still as of yet have never been random tested as a driver.

When I was in the Army, I got hit three 3 times in a row and I was never one of the partiers… go figure.

Company I worked for for about 10 years used to test me every other month or so. I was the dedicated random I guess. My boss would tell be before I left to "drink a couple of cokes before you get to the yard in WI tomarrow". I didn't mind. I got to drive the Vice-Pres's car to the collection sight. Since then I havn't been tested for about 4 years.

Last time I was called in for a random pee test, the MRO called me back three days later and told me I was PREGNANT!!
I went to see the doctor, then he ran some tests, and told me that I was pregnant, but the baby wasn't really mine after all!!

:lol: :cry:

I have known of some people who seem to get selected more than others. A carrier can also have a driver more frequently checked if they suspect drug or alcohol use. It is supposed to be completely random, but there must be a formula they use.

My brother got stung by a bee a month ago, when he went to the doc, they had insurance telling them that a random needed to be done as part of workers comp. Guess they wanted to make sure my brother wasn't high or drunk when he ran into the backside of that bee. He didn't have to do it, company was po'ed about it and called insurance, told them to check the files they don't do random's as a company and weren't required per the insurance they had.

I get picked every 2 years, when it comes time for my med card to be renewed. Within 30 days of it being due, I can be sent to the doc at anytime so yeah, it's kinda random. :-P Not that it bothers me, don't do that junk anyways.

Sober/Clean close to a decade - they can "random" me every month if they want (as long as I'm not PAYING for it). Every time I go in, I offer to drop trou and fill the cup ON THE SPOT in front of everyone present (they DON'T call me SickRick for nothing you know).

I'm the guy that goes AROUND THE BLOCK to go through the DUI checkpoint OVER AND OVER AGAIN - just because I CAN!

Rick
