[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

That’s the goal. It’s a struggle.

Yes it is

 

[UnionStrong]

Yes it is

I have no doubt I would’ve been suspended a time or two.

 

[burrheadd]

Where's @Integrity on this one??? LOL

Wasted?

 

[UnionStrong]

Wasted?

No, he’s setting up an intervention.

 

[burrheadd]

But he blew .8

They did this before "start time"? He could have just "got sick" and walked away.....

Start time is start time.

Sorry professor that’s not how it works

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I have no doubt I would’ve been suspended a time or two.

Perhaps

 

[UnionStrong]

Perhaps

The night before. Back when men were men.

 

[rentadawg]

Yep.

Article 35

An employee who is tested for reasonable cause and whose alcohol level is 0.02 to 0.039 will be taken out of service for twenty-four (24) hours and receive a warning letter

An employee who is tested for reasonable cause and whose alcohol level is 0.040 to 0.069 will be taken out of service for twenty-four (24) hours, referred to a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and suspended for ten (10) days.

I was 0.008

 

[Trucker Clock]

I was 0.008

No it wasn’t.

If it was, UPS couldn’t do a damn thing. It was 0.08 if you were terminated.

 

[rentadawg]

No it wasn’t.

If it was, UPS couldn’t do a damn thing. It was 0.08 if you were terminated.

It was. They suspended me not terminated and recommended the SATA program

I quit drinking nearly two years ago.
This very thing was definitely a concern for me. I was a 2 or 3 beers a night kind of guy. Good, craft beer. 7.2 percent IPAs, 12 percent bourbon barrel stouts, high ABV Belgian styles. But I had that itch sometimes where I'd put back 5 or 6 on a Wednesday and Thursday would suck, and I probably wasn't the best coworker.
This wasn't the only reason I quit. But my wife is who made it possible. She held me accountable, and I never went back.

I knew two drivers, one in my center, both had over 15 years in, both drank heavily. At different times, each one just stopped coming to work. Never came back. Union called them too, they just walked away. Alcohol

Cigarettes and alcohol.

I've known a few heavy drinkers, cigarettes and nowadays pot. All three going......

Several never made it out of their early 60's. 60!

They were the types that wouldn't stop smoking in tractors. Angry. Lot's of ex-wives......A lot of carousing.....

 

[qdg2]

He said he blew .8

Off the clock

 

[Mlody]

We had this happen a least 3 times in my center. Manager told the drivers to go home... happens again you will be fired. They are still driving

 

[Bubblehead]

He said he blew .8

Off the clock

He could never blow a .8, because long before he got that deep he would be dead.

It's .08

 

[BigUnionGuy]

He could never blow a .8, because long before he got that deep he would be dead.

It's .08

The drug and alcohol threads never disappoint....
