Top 5 FAQs on DOT Reasonable Suspicion Testing: Hitting the ‘high’ points
A single, high-profile crash involving a drugged or drunk CDL driver can devastate a motor carrier. Even lesser events, such as roadside inspections citing a drug or alcohol violation can impact the carrier’s safety standing with DOT and result in fines, higher insurance rates, lost customers, and an inability to attract high caliber drivers.
That’s why it is so important that your driver supervisors know how to identify signs of drug use and alcohol misuse. DOT requires that supervisors receive reasonable suspicion training to aid in this role.
Our presentation will tackle some of the more frequently asked questions on DOT reasonable suspicion testing. The webcast:
• Begins with an overview of 49 CFR 382.107 and 382.603, and
