This thread alone will have registered alarm in many a traffic office up and down the land with TM’s who maybe up to now hadn’t given the possibility of similarly troubled drivers that might be currently working for them or apply for a job, the OP should be thanked for bringing this issue more out in the open.
Random drug testing now happens at a good number of transport yards, pity its come to this but with the blase attitude being shown here i for one will be a little more understanding of my shift manager when i get pinged for one, Zac_A is obviously already on the ball about this and rightly so, where i work they’d not give one second’s consideration to such an applicant and nor would any operator who values their good standing and O licences.
We now have an actual real life Traffic Commissioner on the main forum, maybe it’s caused him some thoughts if he’s seen this rubbish and it might well be a subject for further disussion among TC’s and the legislature.
