PA DOT drug screen

[elcamino]

Does anyone know what screen the PA DOT uses? 5,7,9,12 panel test? I'm not trying to get away with anything, I was just wondering.

Probably something like this U.S. Department of Transportation / Office of the Secretary of Transportation

49 CFR Part 40. Subpart F. § 40.85 What laboratories may be used for DOT drug testing?

Subpart F - Drug Testing Laboratories
§ 40.85 What drugs do laboratories test for?
As a laboratory, you must test for the following five drugs or classes of drugs in a DOT drug test. You must not test “DOT specimens” for any other drugs.
(a) Marijuana metabolites.
(b) Cocaine metabolites.
(c) Amphetamines.
(d) Opiate metabolites.
(e) Phencyclidine (PCP).

I had to pee quiz the other day, so I had asked a doc pal of mine if my blood pressure med would be a problem. So he showed me what CFR to look up

Yea I had to take one 2day. I wasn't worried about anything illegal. But I had been taking some pain killers, which I DO have a script for, and have just been worried about it.
We'll see what happens.
later

Including Calif Dept. Of Corrections, use random testing and the limits are published for us to see. they are set at a lower limit than the standards used for DOT. Just eating a hamburger bun with poppy seeds will give a positive test.
