Default Drug Tests at UPS?
What is up with all the no notice drug testing at UPS? Is it my imagination, or are we seeing more testing than there has been in the past? Crazy.

About 3 years ago, I got drug tested twice in 3 months. They told me it was all done by random by a firm not associated with UPS. I have not been tested since.

Fly with a Captain that makes decisions they don't like , **** them off, **** in the bottle. "Randomly " test at least twice a year.

I'm told that the FAA sets a quarterly quota. Looks like UPS has upset the feds again.

I got a "random" upon arrival SDF from the red-eye from ANC two days ago. But at least the Holidump van left without me.

1 in 6 yrs. I remember it was at least two to three times a year when I was in the military. Drug testing at UPS doesn't seem too crazy or out of the ordinary to me.
