Alcohol & Drug Compliance
DOT probably levies more penalties for failing to drug and alcohol testing than any others. Particularly to the smaller, local type companies who are not your traditional “for-hire” motor carriers, ie, landscapers, utilities, construction companies, etc. If you have vehicles which require a CDL license, you are subject to drug and alcohol testing. This includes: pre-employment testing, random testing, post-accident testing, reasonable suspicion testing, and possibly even return-to-duty testing. I am working with a small scrap iron dealer from the wilds of Minnesota. The government is charging him with missing two random tests, and two pre-employment tests. Overall the fine is $19,000 and change. Don’t let this happen to you, learn what you need to do! Buy the DVD.
