Default Can any of you UP guys tell me?

I quit smoking awhile back, but still chew nicotine gum... is that going to disqualify me on my pre-hire drug screening? I've tried to get in touch with the HR dept. to ask but they get off before I do. Or do they even test for it? Help me out here.

UPRLO its a Diesel Mech position. I wish I could say I never have, but I hung out with the bone head crowd back in the day and we had to be "cool".... Someone should have kicked my "cool" ass for it. I do know a bunch of people over on the UP side that smoke and chew, even a MTO. Just don't want to get disqualified on the piss test for chewing nicotine gum. And heeeeeells no I'm not smokin a joint the day of my physical! I said bone head crowd.. not the special class!

bottom line: Up doesn't give a shit.it's all about the insurance company & lower health risks for non tobacco usage. they ain't gonna test you for that.

LOL Nicotine doesn't disqualify you from working at the UP.

Those that don't smoke, chew

if they test for nicotine i would be screwed! if you are quitting, good luck. i wouldn't worry to much about nicotine though, i would be worried about the heroine.
