Drug & Alcohol Testing

 Prior to operating a vehicle requiring Commercial Driver’s License, all owner-operators and employees must complete a pre-employment drug test and receive negative results.

Depending on the nature of the accident and the severity of injuries, drivers may be required to undergo immediate drug and alcohol testing to assess individual liability. 

To maintain DOT compliance, both owner-operators and employees of transportation companies must participate in a consortium pool and undergo random drug testing throughout the year. 

If an employer has reasonable suspicion that an employee may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the workplace, the employee may be required to undergo a drug or alcohol test. 

If a driver has previously tested positive for drugs or alcohol, they must first provide a negative result on a "return-to-duty" drug test before resuming their workplace responsibilities. 

 Drivers who have successfully completed the return-to-duty process, including a negative return-to-duty test, are required to undergo follow-up testing multiple times over the subsequent year.
