I am a former schneider employee. I applied back in May 2010 to become a team driver again with the company. I did the DOT drug/screen and the company hair testing. I passed the DOT drug testing but to my suprised the hair test results came back positive. I had never in my life taken any kind of illegal drugs or prescribed drugs that were not prescribed to me by my doctor. The MRO doctor that informed me of the results he was cold and rude and spoke to me like i was druggie liar. He refused to give me his supervisors information and no one in his office would tell the name of his superiors. I spoke to schneiders, I believe it was the regulatory department, and tried to explain to them that it was a mistake that i would be more than happy to retake the test even at my cost at that very moment or take a test that went back further than the 90 days. They said it was AGAINST COMPANY POLICY that the only way they would retest was if the mro doctor said there was reason but the mro doctor said he wouldn't say there was reason because when he called he asked if I was on medication i said no because i was not but after he told me the results and i did research on how in the world i could have failed a drug test, the one test i never in life i thought I would fail, I read otc diet pills could cause a false positive and if he would have asked if i HAD TAKEN anything within 90days instead of asking if WAS TAKING anything not giving me a time frame, I would have told him I had taken some strong over the counter diet pills weeks earlier that could have possibly been the cause of the false positive because that's what it was false. i ordered them from the radio and they were not on any list of meds a driver couldn't take. Either the few diet pills i did take was the cause or the test was just flat out wrong. but since he didn't schneider put me on a black list which is not fair. I tried to speak to supervisors and supervisors bosses at schneider and the mro office but everyone stone walled me. I was told I couldn't apply with the company for 5 years and my husband was hired on and i rode with him until he was told by his dispatcher that i couldn't even be in the truck. This experience has not kept me from getting a job in any way i am currently employed driving i have taken hair sample tests for employers over they years spur of the moment and have had no issues at all. I will never again ever in life apply with schneider because of the way I was talked to and treated by company employees and the mro office. My issue with schneider, the reason that I just cant let it go is that another driver out of NC i believe failed his hair test it came back positive he told them it was a mistake and they RETESTED. For ME its against company policy to retest but for HIM its sure buddy we'll retest. his test came back negative and he has been a happy schneider driver ever since. WHY when this OLDER MALE driver failed and said it was a mistake he was retested but me a YOUNGER FEMALE was treated like trash on crack, banned and black listed for several years? Can someone please explain this too me because its not right.
