    I went and took a drug test for a job, the first was diluted. They wanted me to retake it, no problem. The second was also diluted (to much water) as of right now I work outdoors so I try and stay pretty hydrated. The company said they could hire me because I did pass the test but first they want me to go to my personal doctor and get a note describing why my urine is diluted. I don’t do drugs. I passed a piss test for school and passed a Pisa test for my current job. My doctors office wants to do a physical. But the company is saying that wouldn’t be satisfactory. Anyone ever heard of this. I DONT DO DRUGS. Should I just move on and find another company?

    I never heard of it but if the only issue is you need a note from a doctor I would just go online and do a tele-health consult. I have seen them advertised from as low as $49. You simply explain to the doctor via a zoom call and he/she writes the note you need. Probably done in under 15 minutes.

    I have heard of this. Sometimes it's caused by drinking too much water before the test and sometimes the dope smokers will drink a ton of water to dilute the sample. BTW it is Too Dilute Sample.

    Another snag is for the people that drink alkaline water. It can throw ofh the pH of the urine and they suspect you have eaten/drank some substance to mask the drugs in your urine.

    Retake the test with a lot less water in your system. Don't mess around or argue with drug tests. NOBODY in the doctor's office, FMCSA, or trucking company has any leeway or interest in whatever story you want to tell about federally-mandated regulations. Move Heaven and Earth if necessary to clear this up quickly and take drug tests seriously. Some young people I work with now think if they have a story it overrides requirements or assignments. The world doesn't care of you succeed or fail, you have to care and do what succeeds if you want to succeed.

    Retaking the test isn’t the problem. I passed the test, they said. They’ll give me a job, if I get a note from the doctor. But they won’t tell me what I need from the doctor. I’m at a loss. I’m willing to do whatever I need to do to get this job. (It checks all the boxes in what I want) and it’s not too diluted it’s 2 too diluted drug tests as in 2 separate too diluted tests

    I am going to reply here to the tag as well as a PM. As usual, I am also going to tag @brian991219 because I am not up on anything recent and he might have more to add.

    Here is what I tell people that have this issue. See your physician to make sure there is nothing wrong with your kidneys. If you are taking water pills understand this can cause this issue too. If all else comes back OK I suggest staying inside for a day or two and limiting fluid intake for 24 hours before testing again.

    The collection sites are supposed to be checking specific gravity. If your sample is not in range they WILL REJECT IT!

    I wish I could be of better help.
    Good luck!
