: : After visiting repair shop I drove into desert,however problems persisted and I received call to go to drugtest 480 miles away.I mentioned my repair bill,small chance of reaching test site and suggested places much closer.Those were unavailable,OK..."different arrangements will be made we will inform you later"(Comp. representative)Short while later I broke down completely and lost a lot of time fixing.My cell had spotty coverage ,now I had none.Dead tired I arrived before midnight,cell signal popping up last 40 miles.Next morning terminated for no show for drug test. Nobody told me about test,I argued. Well ,we couldn`t get a hold of you so we left message,company replied.I checked messages ,and yes, message with instructions was left at 4pm when I was deep in no signal zone..to go to the same place..which we deemed impossible already when talking first time.Even if message reached me nothing would have changed..impossible to make it.I have 20 years of no accidents,no tickets,no customer complaints,fitness fanatic,many drug tests,4 with this company,always negative.What hurts me most is being referred to S.A.P as "refused to submit" which almost equals testing positive.If anybody can help with referral for lawyer knowledgeable in drug testing and with opinions about course of action it would be greatly appreciated.
