Thanks for the info, jeffman. I noticed on the second link that it was in 2001 when Wells Fargo drug tested, which I am hoping has changed. I know that U.S. Bank has had a longstanding drug testing policy but for the past year or two have really cut back on them due to the recession.

For a bit of an update as to my current situation I was recently notified that I passed my background and reference checks. I asked the HR man what I needed to do next for the hiring process and he told me that everything was kosher on his end and he would be sending me an official offering letter soon. Does that mean that I am probably gonna not have to take a drug test or is it not uncommon for companies to spring them on you during your first few days of employment?

Seriously guys, I really appreciate all your help!
