Drug Tests For Truck Drivers To Stay DOT Compliant

FMCSA post-accident drug testing is required by truck drivers after he or she is involved in an accident to stay DOT compliant.
Random Testing
Commercial truck drivers are required to take randomized drug testing. Random alcohol tests are done prior to, during, or directly after a delivery.
Reasonable Suspicion Testing
Commercial truck drivers must submit a FMCSA drug or alcohol test if their employer or supervisor suspects drug or alcohol abuse.
Return-To-Duty Testing
Drug tests are required for truck drivers when returning to duty if they were penalized for previously disobeying DOT compliance regulations.
Follow-up Testing
Once a commercial truck driver has returned to duty after DOT compliance violations, they will have regular follow up drug screenings.
