CORPORATECOACHES Florida's Leading Transportation Provider Random: This unannounced testing is based on a random selection of drivers.The selection must be made by a scientifically valid method and all drivers covered by this rule must have an equal chance of being tested. The names of drivers who are selected for testing must be kept confidential until such time that the carrier notifies the driver to take the test. Once the driver is notified, he/she must immediately proceed to the testing facility and undergo testing. Every driver's name that is selected for testing must be returned to the selection pool so that all drivers have an equal chance of being selected at any time. Random alcohol testing is also required by the DOT. However, random alcohol tests can only be administered just prior to a driver performing a safety-sensitive function, while performing a safety-sensitive function, or just after performing a safety-sensitive function. Random controlled substances tests can be conducted at any time the driver is notified. A driver who is selected and refuses to submit to a test must follow the requirements of 49 CFR Part 40, Subpart 0. Post Accident:This test applies to all CDL drivers who are involved in fatal crashes. The test must also be conducted on all CDL drivers who are cited for moving violations arising in a crash that requires a vehicle being towed or an injury requiring medical attention away from the scene.The alcohol test must be conducted within 8 hours and the controlled substances test must be conducted within 32 hours of the crash. TESTING PROCEDURES The official testing procedures are based on those established by the Department of Health and Human Services.These procedures include: urine sample collection, laboratory procedures, and reporting and recordkeeping of final results. Only laboratories certified by Health and Human Services under the National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP) may be used.These procedures exist to safeguard accuracy and to protect the privacy of drivers. A driver who has tested positive for any of the substances will be notified and may discuss the positive test results with a qualified Medical Review Officer(MRO) before a result is reported to the employer. The driver will have an opportunity to explain any special circumstances to the MRO.The MRO has the authority and responsibility for reporting the results to the carrier's alcohol and drug program management for action. CONSEQUENCES A driver who has violated DOT alcohol and drug regulations is prohibited from performing DOT safety-sensitive duties for any motor carrier until he/she completes the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluation, referral, and education/treatment process set forth in 49 CFR Part 40 Subpart 0, and in applicable FMCSA regulations.
