I retired in September but I hadn’t heard of anyone getting a random test in many years except maybe after an accident.
It will be fine

How about if you drive a truck for your job, don’t do drugs. I know, crazy.Just want some honest answers thanks. Not misinformation, not two-word ironic funny joke replies intended to lighten the load when you don't know. Thanks!

Swings have to pass an FBI background check because they transport placardable quantities of dangerous goods, where couriers don’t.
That’s why they piss, and couriers don’t.

Wrong. All drivers have to pass a background check. Not all swings have a Haz endorsement. It may have been a policy long ago to random swings but not now. Having a CDL might be the trigger for randoms.

CDL/Has holders are subject to randoms.
FedEx has been cutting back on the number of CDL/Haz couriers for years. My station was down to one CDL/Haz courier for the last 5 years or so. He was the only person in the station to get random drug tests during that time. Management dropped his requirement to be CDL/Haz earlier this year because he only had to placard for DG once in the last few years.

Haven't heard of any random in years. But I'm sure they still are able to do them. Only heard of drug screens for new hires and right after accidents. Employee I know from my old station got in an accident was told to get screened that day. He went home to drink a detox and took the test 24 hours later. They fired him but he GFT'd it and got his job back. Pretty hard to get fired these days. I also know before I left my last station they had a girl that would come in stinking of weed and management knew about it but turned a blind eye. Probably why that stations a show.
show.

May not be accurate, but I thought only DOT drivers were subject to random tests. Also, two managers must sign off on a drug test, according to a manager I know.

This is correct. Only CDL are subject to random and FAA positions at the ramp/hub. For 95%+ there are no randoms, but anyone can be tested with reasonable suspicion and certain types of accidents require testing by law.
