Good way to fail your d.o.t physical

another way, I recently had to take a DOT pee test at SWIFT orientation. At 11:30 I was still not called to give sample. So I waist it down the toilet. So I start downing coffee and water. Finally my turn ro pe in the cup. This is a send out test so results aren't known until the next day. My sample was "diluted", retest. Send out again, comes back negative.

 

Too much water will also get you a "Diluted Sample...retest".

 

When I first got into driving, one of my fellow drivers failed his physical for the same reason. His sugar level in his urine was three times the maximum limit. They asked what he had for breakfast.
"Uh, two or three honey buns, and at least 1 liter of mountain dew." What??
Since that was on friday, he had to go back on monday. Somebody told him to just eat peanut butter, and drink water. They told him the peanut butter would help eliminate the excess sugar, and the water would flush it out. So, for saturday and sunday, he would get a spoon and gag on peanut butter.
He did pass on monday, was it because of the peanut butter and water? Or, just because he stayed away from honey buns and mountain dew for a couple of days?

 

Mountian Due is a very high sugar drink.

I like Peter Pan peanut butter. It is pretty high in sugar too.

 

hrm.. I drink a gallon to a gallon and a half of water every day. Had a couple DOT physicals/pee tests.. never been called for 'diluted'.

 

That's because your body is properly assimilating the water because you're drinking lots of it. We are 75% water anyway.

 

Another good way to fail a DOT physical is to fall asleep in the waiting room.

If you do you will be deemed to be exhibiting Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and have to get a sleep study done to rule out sleep apnea. cost $ 2,000.. even if you were up all night and had a 9:00 am appointment....


Or.... get mad and threaten the doctor... that willl get you a lifetime faliure. thats in the new psychological complaints guidelines the MRB came up with.

 

Sounds like me today .... ALMOST LOL ... I had like 5 cups of coffee this morning luckily I didn't have anywhere near as much sugar as normal... The pee part wasn't a problem but between the coffee and ciggies on the way to get my DOT and the excitment of getting my med so can go do my written tests for my permit... he pointed out that if my pulse was just a little higher he wouldn't have been able to pass me LOL... Normally when I go for a physical or whatnot they complain cause BP and pulse is almost lower than what it should be LOL... but I got the med and I got my Permit so all is good (now if the Swift recruiters weren't off until Monday LOL
