My boss told new hires that if they wanna be drivers they should stop smoking and take up drinking. I dont know how that makes any sense but thats the world we live in.

Just giving my testimony. Im 5'8 250 pounds and I smoke an ounce a month for the past 6 years. Just flower(2-3g joints) no edibles. I recently stopped due to surgery and was clean for 37 days. Because i was out for over 30 days my job required I take another physical and drug test(lab urine) to return to work. I took both home test and lab test on the same day. The home test was very VERY faint. So faint that you can only see it up close. But like the test says, a ghost line is still passing. 4 days later my lab test came back negative so I was able to return to work. So if you're concerned about lab test results, as long as it shows negative on the home test, there's a 99% chance of passing the lab test. No i didn't detox or drink a gallon of water a day nor drink cranberry juice. Hopefully this will lower some people's anxiety. Good luck everybody

Thank you for sharing. I barely smoke. Cpl hits a week. An ounce will last me over a year. I've taken at least 12 home tests. All had very faint negatives. Just took the lab test hopefully I don't lose this job opportunity. Shame I can no longer take small puffs once and awhile guess they want us to all be drunks.

Hey doc is there any way you could give me an answer on how long id tests positive I weigh 115 in weight I have a 8% or so of body fat and I run everyday even before I stopped smoking I stopped smoking on April 2nd and I’m wondering if I would be clean soon I’m going to test myself today but I am trying to get a new job soon I already missed one job opening and I’m not trying to miss this second one because I have a high chance of getting the job and I am not trying to stay in the restaurant industry because people don’t respect you and don’t wanna work what do you think doc would be the time for me to hit less than 40 nanograms or below 50 I smoked everyday for like 6 years or sum all the time and would finish a cartridge vaporizer in like three days

So l have a DOT drug test this tuesday (in 2 days) To my understanding they test at 50ng/ML and do a confirmatory at 15ng/ML for reference I am 6 foot five 290 pounds. I've been clean for 60 plus days two weeks ago, I sent a test to a private lab and tested at 38NG/ML I'm just stressing out because this is obviously a life-changing opportunity for me and a failure means that I'll never be able to work in this industry. I don't know if I should just use Quick fix or should i be good? to my understanding, they'll only send a confirmation test if you test positive on the initial. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

if you arent in yet, and are still in the recruiting phase they will just do an initial dip-stick style 50 ng/ml. if you fail that they will confirm at the lab at 15 ng/ml. Once you are in and have passed boot camp, etc they will do random tests, usually monthly depending on your command. theyll pick 10% of the company at random. This was army infantry your job may vary greatly.

The testing is so unfair. The test should keep people from being high on the job. If you drive big truck or operate heavy equipment, then yes, you shouldn't be stoned I'll kinda agree with that. However, if you haven't used it in over a dang month, then what the hell are we doing. Getting drunk is horrible for your life but extremely acceptable in construction. When will things start to change?
