Kicked Out Of Orientation!

Thanks for the quick response Brett. Not a good way to start my trucking career! Lol

Since they made you pee again right there in the facility, then they themselves must know that sometimes the strip does't register. Did you perhaps try to explain that to Prime? Sorry about your bad luck. I guess it's a sign that Prime is not for you and that something better is out there.

Better luck next time.

I did ask if there was ever a problem with the strips and he said no. But the guy in front of me said his didn't register either. Mine was actually the only one he really looked at. He had pre-marked all of our paperwork that the temp was good! He actually had to scratch it out and remark it on my paperwork! Unbelievable situation. Thank you for you support. You are correct...prime was not meant to be!!

I'm so confused... Why did they have you retest if they were just going to send you home anyway? And why did they still send you home if you passed the retest?

Something doesn't add up here...

I had to re-test in front of their dr at that time so it would not go on my record. They were assuming I was lying so they sent me home. Now that they have the results they can see that I was being truthful and something must have been wrong with the temperature strip.

Well, like others have said, that doesn't make sense. Why would they go to the trouble of having you repeat the test in front of a doctor, see that you passed, then send you home anyway? Seems like a waste of time and test strips. But I guess lots of dumb things happen in large companies, so I guess it's possible.

So now that they know you weren't lying, are they offering to let you come back or anything? Have they acknowledged making any kind of mistake? Not trying to be difficult or accuse you of anything, but do you think there's any other reason they might have sent you home? Just seems awfully strange for them to send you home before knowing the final result of the tests, and knowing that you had already retested and would have the results coming in shortly. But I don't have any experience with these types of mega-orientations, so it could just be standard practice I guess.

It wasn't test strips...it was sent to a lab which takes a day or two at least. if I failed I would have received a call from the "mro". I know I passed the test. I did nothing wrong...I guess it's the way prime does things. I was trying to make sense of it myself but can't let it bother me anymore. It's their loss!
