Drug Testing Questions
Does marijuana use disqualify a CDL driver?
Yes. Even in states where recreational marijuana is legal, federal DOT regulations prohibit marijuana use for safety-sensitive transportation employees. A positive test results in immediate removal from safety-sensitive duties.
What happens if a test comes back positive?
The MRO contacts the employee for a medical explanation. If no legitimate explanation exists, the result is confirmed positive and the employer is notified. The driver must complete the SAP Return-to-Duty process before returning to safety-sensitive functions.
How long do I have to provide a specimen?
Drivers are given up to 3 hours to provide a 45mL specimen. Inability to provide a specimen may be treated as a refusal.
Can the driver observe collection?
Standard urine collections are not directly observed. Certain circumstances (such as a previous invalid or substituted result) may require an observed collection.
