Just recently I was reading on one of the truck driving forums that back in 2015, Ex-President Obama signed a bill known as the FAST Act transportation bill, issuing new rules and regulations for the transportation industry.
As soon as The Department of Health and Human Services establishes guidelines, the bill will allow for hair follicle testing being a DOT-approved method of drug testing! But for now the only type of DOT drug testing is urine testing.
And, this is only one of the ever-changing rules and regulations, so you as an employee or an employer should always stay up-to-date and on the right track with the DOT-compliant drug and alcohol testing.
Who is subject to DOT Drug Testing?
As I stated earlier, subject to DOT drug testing is everyone who is considering driving a CMV’s, or its already driving a commercial vehicle.
