I'm not really sure you can cheat drug testing all that much. I have been Road side checked,Terminal checked and Scale House checked. I was actually checked four times in one week at the home terminal when I drove for Red Star and when I questioned them about the random checks they just said well the computer made the lists.So I informed them I was gonna contact my lawyer and find out why I was being targeted.I was never checked again. I really didn't care because I was getting paid for it and I had nothing to hide but it just seemed strange as to why I was being targeted.

I saw this same story on the national news the other night . About a month or six weeks ago I saw a mobile drug testing unit at the Brownstown, Illinois scale. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I read on here(Truckingboards) about how the DOT would be "cracking down" on drivers' (which translates to "truckers") for lane usage and following to closely. It makes me wonder if the government is a little pissed at truckers about the stopping of funding for the mexican pilot program?
