Commonly Asked Questions

How often do CDL holders need to undergo DOT testing?

CDL holders are subject to random DOT drug and alcohol testing throughout the year. The frequency of these tests is determined by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) guidelines, which require a certain percentage of CDL holders to be tested annually. Additionally, CDL holders may be tested after accidents, upon reasonable suspicion, or as part of return-to-duty and follow-up testing programs.

What should I expect during a DOT alcohol test?

During a DOT alcohol test, a qualified Breath Alcohol Technician will administer a breathalyzer test to measure the alcohol concentration in your breath. The test is quick and non-invasive, providing immediate results. If the initial test indicates an alcohol concentration of 0.02 or higher, a confirmation test will be conducted to verify the results. This process ensures accuracy and compliance with DOT regulations.

What substances are screened in a DOT drug test?

A standard DOT drug test screens for five categories of substances: cocaine, marijuana, opioids, amphetamines, and phencyclidine (PCP). These substances are chosen due to their potential to impair an individual's ability to perform safety-sensitive tasks. The testing process is designed to detect the presence of these drugs and ensure that employees remain compliant with DOT regulations.
