If you need your job and your freedom, I wouldn't chance it. If you ever have an accident and you have traces of any drug in your system and someone is killed, it wouldn't be good if you were the one responsible.
if dot stands for Department of Transportation, which is a government agency the answer is most definitely yes.
No, not really. (The DOT drug test doesn't do it either.) If you come up positive for benzos (assuming the test you're given is looking for them), the test will say "positive for benzodiazepines." It won't be able to tell between the three hundred or so "pams" on the list of known benzos.
Go to a store and look at the drug test kits that you ca purchase. Only the most expensive ones test for benzos. So there is your answer. The test you took probobly didnt test for it. I know that benzos can stay in you for a long time. It suprised me how long.
9-panel drug test is also a non-dot test. It checks for the 5 drugs plus 4 more. Look it up
In the normal DOT physical, the urine is checked for blood, protein, sugar, and specific gravity. DOT-protocol drug test may or may not be included.
They don't test for benzos on a DOT drug test, just pot, cocaine, PCP, opiates and amphetamines. However! Benzos can make you sleepy and cause you to pull over for naps, which could make you late for pickup or delivery, which will eventually cause you to lose your job.
The DOT urine test checks you for drugs and also for diabetes. The diabetes test is a dipstick, but the drug test is EMIT with GC/MS confirmation so if you're doing drugs you'll be caught.
yes they pick a little hair to test
NO, took random dot urine test with 2 patches on my back nothing showed . it is not a narcotic; it's the same as novocaine.
No. Xanax is a benzodiazepine; benzos are central nervous system depressants. CNS depressants are not drugs of concern to DOT because no truck driver wants a drug that will make him sleepy; if a trucker is going to do illegal drugs he wants the kind that will keep him up all night so he can drive farther.
Norco, is hydrocodone with 325mg of Tylenol (Acetaminophen). The CDL test or DOT( Dept. of Transportation) test urine for opiates among other things. If you do not have a prescription for hydrocodone, you will be flagged. I would recommend you do not take any urine test for a period of at least 5 days after your last dose of Hydrocodone. At that point, you should be clean.
Valium and xanax are benzodiazepines and are not tested for on a DOT drug screen at all. In fact, it is illegal to test for these substances on a federal DOT test. The DOT drug screen looks for marijuana, opiates, PCP, amphetamines and cocaine. There's no such thing as a drug it's illegal to test for according to the DOT; they could test you for steroids if they wanted to. The reason they only test fpr those five drugs is that they're the five drugs most likely to be found in a trucker's urine. Considering that most drivers who do drugs are doing so to stay awake, why would any trucker do downers?
If you're tested on the "extended" drug test, it's going to be real close. If it's a drug test for the DOT, where they only look for five things and one's not benzos, you should be okay.
