The DOT requires random drug testing
Yes, the Department of Transportation mandates that drug testing be conducted on random selections of CDL holders and employees in Testing Designated Positions (TDPs).
DOT random drug testing was established in June of 2017 as an increased effort to deter substance abuse in the transportation industry. Since drivers never know when they’ll get tested, this program effectively decreases test positivity rates.
While drug testing is optional in other industries, it’s mandatory in the transportation industry.
And for good reason. Random drug testing saves lives.
What does a random DOT test for?
Drug test specimens are evaluated for evidence of the following substances:
- Marijuana (THC metabolite)
- Cocaine
- Amphetamines
- Opiates (including heroin)
- Phencyclidine (PCP)
How often are random drug tests done?
DOT random drug testing regulations set the testing rates for CDL drivers. If positive test results go over 1%, the minimum test rates must be 50%; if they’re under 1%, they can be set at 25%.
For four years, the drug testing rate was set at 25%. But on January 1, 2020, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) DOUBLED the testing rate to 50%. This decision was based on positive drug testing rates going over 1% for two consecutive years in 2016 and 2017. Which showed there was a need for more random testing.
Random alcohol testing rates didn’t change, however. They continue at 10%.
Another testing selection method is the TDP pool. TDP pool testing rates are set by individual agencies.
Drivers can end up in both CDL and TDP testing pools, which means they have a higher chance of getting selected. In both pools, drivers are selected randomly by testing software throughout the year.
So how often do truck drivers get tested? The same driver may get selected multiple times or not at all.
But with our random drug testing software, you can view which drivers have not been selected for testing.
Do truck drivers get random drug tests?
Yes, truck drivers are required to comply with all federal CDL drug testing requirements and every driver is required to be in a random drug testing pool.
When the driver is selected for testing, he or she must proceed immediately to the test site. Refusals to test are treated the same as failing the test.
And if a driver fails the test, DOT regulations require that he or she be immediately removed from all safety-sensitive functions and complete a return-to-duty process under the guidance of a substance abuse professional.
