I was "randomly" selected for drug testing at my work 3 out of 5 years. So either they thought I was a safe bet to pass the test... Or they think I party hard.

How many truckers in nation?

If there were only 1500 truckers and one who just drove 12 hrs straight in record time, announced it and got a "you have been randomly selected for drug test" immediately after the drive, you would pawn off as coincidence?

basis isnt all truckers, its truckers at said company....

I'm sure they do - but Brady doesn't run off to Twitter to post the news.

It's silly listening to people talk of conspiracy theories of random drug test. Every month, there are 10 players selected for a random drug test. You are dealing with a possible 75 players that are in the selection pool (team, practice squad and reserve list). If it's "random", a player could be selected more than once... and some people may not get selected at all. It's not "everyone gets their turn", but it's "random".

I'm in the trucking biz and in my world, there are DOT random drug tests. And I see first hand what happens when you are dealing with a small selection pool, but you have to meet a certain percentage of random drug tests monthly.

Coming from the military and doing drug tests, random is not random. For example, in the program, it can be truly random, however, there is options where someone can be out from the random and there is an option to include a person that is suspected to be on drugs.

While on the paper, it will say random, it truly isn't all random. In the military, they test 10% of the unit each month (random). Within a year, you could have several get tested 7 or 8 times within that year. It should equal to 100% tested for the year, but several have to do it multiple times where some would only get tested once a year.

Since I know there is an option to add people to a "random" drug test, I know random is not really random. There are just too many ways to exclude people from being part of the list.
