Yep..you are wrong sir...maybe for one who is supposedly so accurate would check on this....

It is a company policy probably for insurance reasons that carriers do this (for vans)....EVERYONE who drives is in the random rotation CDL or NOT......

And the non CDL's keep checking in...

I was talking with my brother about this and he said it could be because we deal with brokers. If we were to cause an accident the victim can come back on the shipper/broker for not finding a safe company to haul the freight. If all drivers are tested then they have proof that they made reasonable attempts to find a safe transportation company.

When did you have yours done? I'm going to look into it but it appears they deduct it from your pay, hopefully it was a mistake the others got billed. Still crossing my fingers.

I was sent for a drug test and don't have a CDL.

No CDL here and tested..

Interesting ....

Have either of you ever held a CDL at anytime ?

How are your driver entries in Fleet-Vision designated for the "Random Drug Test - Y/N" field ?

Yep ... you are wrong sir...

That's certainly possible ....

And the non CDL's keep checking in...

As well as the dunces evidently ....

maybe for one who is supposedly so accurate would check on this....

Well, mebbe you yourself might wanna do a little checking .... with regard to your statement below (.... about a carrier who, as far as I know, you don't, and have never, worked for .....)

It is a company policy probably for insurance reasons that carriers do this (for vans)....EVERYONE who drives is in the random rotation CDL or NOT......

Well clearly, that doesn't appear to always be the case :

Looks like it may be something that has changed then .....

In my research on this, from speaking with other (_____) van driver's, the thing that came up as being a common denominator for a van driver getting the call for randoms or not, was whether or not they held a CDL. The ones who did (hold a CDL) had been tested, the ones who didn't hadn't been .....

Perhaps it is a (relatively) recent change in policy.

Of course, testing of non-CDL drivers isn't required by the DOT:

Dropped off in Anniston, Al and sitting at the J in Temple, GA. Wondering if they will ever open the Denny's. I do like their coffee!

At home in Dayton .. I was "supposed" to be back in service today, when we returned from the rv'ing, I discovered a power steering leak, (again), under my van.

Stoop's says it is the high pressure line from the pump, which I have already replaced once.

So the parts should be under warranty, but they had to order it from somewhere ....
