I've seen some other states randomly selected people for alternate tests (ie. Blood) rather than urine. Has anyone in Indiana had this happen?

Not yet. 9 months in.
I tested 9/21 and now today 9/27. Never had them that close. What gives?
I usually get tested about every 3 weeks but last month I got hit 3 times in one month! I'm not even back to work yet so it about killed me!

(I'm in PA) I had to do a hair test quite a few months ago. Otherwise, all urine.

I wish being tested 2 times in 6 days was A LOT for me. I've been tested 5 times in the last 2 weeks!!! Monday, Thursday, then Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I fully expect to get slammed again tomorrow!
What?!?! How many times a year does your contract say you are to be tested? I just can't imagine testing that many times so close together. This site has really been a reality check for me, every time I get discouraged, I always see other people's situations and realize It could be worse for me.
48 times a year!! And we only get a 5 hour window from when we check in to go test!
Oh my goodness! Are you able to ask for a reduction in terms? Every 6 months we are able to ask for one of ours (tests, meetings) to be reduced. Obviously we have to be in good standing and stay that way!
