Q: I was hired in MN for a job and have to do a drug test, do I have to drive there for the test if I live in WI?

answered on Nov 25, 2020

You would need to ask the employer that is requiring the drug test. I would imagine you could go to a lab closer to where you live and they would accept the results as long as it is from a reputable lab and is an observed test.
