I had several interviews with this company already, and now they are down to several people (including me) and they invited me over for an all-day interview in their main facility
I won't name the company, but its big in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Their headquarters also have a distribution center/warehouse built-in. I searched on TestClear and there are 10 or so reports of drug testing for that company, 9 reports say URINE, but some reports are old. One of the new reports said HAIR, but it was a different state.
I also found out that a drug test must be scheduled within 48 hours of the job offer.

What are the chances they will drug test me on site during or right after the interview?
I do not even know what type of drug test it is...

Here is my plan of action:
1. A friend will drive me, so if they do ask I will tell them I can't make the driver wait... what else can I say?
2. I will definitely bring Quick Fix 4 (2 bottles and thermometer). I will also prepare for dilution. Buuut.... it would be unfeasable to dilute since I can't be running to the bathroom every 20 minutes AND I have to drive there for 3 hours.
3. What if its a hair test? I would have to start treating my hair now for it.

None of these things are an issue if they won't drug test me right after the interview though.

If you found out that they must schedule 48 hours after the job offer then hope like hell they don't contact you before then. They probably won't test you on site, especially if you let them know you're tight on time. Most employers will allow a day or so for a drug test in my experience. Otherwise, substitution would probably be the best way to beat it if you do get the job and need to test.

Well they need to interview me one more final time to offer me the job (there are 3 candidates and 2 positions opened). I think drug tests are requested within 48 hours of the actual job offer.

Should I ask a friend to call them and ask which type of drug test they perform?

Absolutely. Make sure you know everything you possibly can about what they're practices are.

I was had an interview for a job with about six others. As soon as isigned all the papers for the job and was hired, i was given drug testing papers and told i had to submit urine by the end of the day. Always be ready for the unexpected.

Whats a good way to formulate a question? Just ask for hiring manager and then straight forwardly ask "Is there a pre-employment drug screen? What kind is it?

Yeah, you have the right to know everything about the pre-employment process. Ask politely and let on that you have a tight schedule. Make them think you're inquiring for the sake of scheduling and preparedness.

I wonder if its OK to call yourself or if you should ask a friend not to create any suspicion (so they won't ask for second sample just in case, but I am brining 2 QuickFixes for that).

I read the state and law and here is what it says:

Quote:

"(A) It is unlawful for a person to:

(1) sell, give away, distribute, or market urine in this State or transport urine into this State with the intent of using the urine to defraud a drug or alcohol screening test;

(2) attempt to foil or defeat a drug or alcohol screening test by the substitution or spiking of a sample or the advertisement of a sample substitution or other spiking device or measure;

(3) adulterate a urine or other bodily fluid sample with the intent to defraud a drug or alcohol screening test;

(4) possess adulterants which are intended to be used to adulterate a urine or other bodily fluid sample for the purpose of defrauding a drug or alcohol screening test; or

(5) sell adulterants which are intended to be used to adulterate a urine or other bodily fluid sample for the purpose of defrauding a drug or alcohol screening test.

Intent is presumed if a heating element or any other device used to thwart a drug-screening test accompanies the sale, giving, distribution, or marketing of urine or if instructions which provide a method for thwarting a drug-screening test accompany the sale, giving, distribution, or marketing of urine.

(B) A person who violates a provision of subsection (A):

(1) for a first offense, is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than five thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and

(2) for a second or subsequent offense, is guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than ten thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. "

So, if I get caught... is it likely that the company will just call the cops on me?

Is it difficult to prove in court your innocence in this case?
