I have been offered a job with C.W. Johnson Xpress when I get done with the SAP program

Two things happened. 1) I had just taken a leak less than 10 minutes before I was notified of the random drug test. The testing location is less than 1 1/2 miles from the terminal. 2) I have an enlarged prostate which causes me to have problems urinating. In my case it was more than 12 hours before I had to go again after the random.

I was given 2 hours for the complete time I was at the testing lab.

At the end of the 2 hours I was given the options to give a FULL sample. Failing to give a full sample I was declared -- Refused test. The MRO refused to accept my condition since I had not seen a doctor for over six months. Even after the Doctor advised him of my condition. I had contacted my doctor and he even took a blood test less than 48 hours after the clinic declared me -- refused to test. But the MRO will not accept a blood test for a drug test.

What was bad is I had just taken a random less than 2 weeks before. But since it was a new month my number came up again. Wasn't I lucky.

I was like you I had away been able to pass the drug test before. But this time I couldn't give the sample in the allot time.

As far as doing drugs. I have never used drugs. Drugs use when I was growing up didn't occur. I graduated in 1963. At least not in the towns I grew up in. Let me put it this way I was a junior in high school before I went to a school with more than 150 students in the whole school.

It is all history now. I retired over 2 years ago.

I am surprised they would not accept a blood test in lieu of a urine test. It seems to me as though you did everything you could to comply with their wishes.

Kaycee: Not that it matters anymore, but check out part 40.191 and furhter.

The MRO acted irresponsibly, and owes you $600 bucks for the classes!

The whole medical industry is the culprits. They 'try' to show their worth by invalidating candidates with no other supporting evidence based soley on 'procedural rules' made in part by the doctors and/or their lobbyists themselves.

Doctors don't help people get well, since lose money that way. The drug test industry with 'procedural rules' influenced by doctors themselves, is a scam. Sure they filter some drivers who just go to smaller companies, but the 'procedural rules' are what disqualifies a significant portion of innocent drivers and NOT the positive tests.

Hitler was big on zero tolerance policies too I believe.

The problem lies with the PILL POPPING society that we live in and have lived in since the 60's. We as a society want instant gratification and to make the symptoms to go away, if one doctor will not give us the satisfaction and stuff pretty pills down our throats, then we will go to another doctor who will. The enemy is again, society who eat junk, don't care of themselves until they are truly ill and then want the doctor to cure them in minutes.. after all there's an important show on TV they might miss.
