Answer
Hi Randy, Sorry for the delay.  The trucking company that required the test should inform you of your options.  If they can not, contact your District Department of Transportation Office for the procedure. My understanding is that you must be evaluated by a Drug Abuse Treatment Professional, then be retested.  If rehired, must be tested several times during the next 6 months.  Good Luck.  J P Long
