“How about truck stop random drug tests”

I’m a bit surprised they aren’t doing that already.

It’s hard to find any driving job anymore that doesn’t drug test on a regular basis, for insurance reasons if nothing else. One good wreck by a driver under the influence can ruin a company.

I would actually prefer to drive for a company with a strick drug policy, it would make me feel better about a company like that. Trucks weigh way too much to have some moron high on something driving them. It’s hard enough to keep them on the road at times when sober.

DOT drivers are part of a drug testing program that includes random testing. This guy either wasn’t very random or was lucky...... or gamed the system.

A friend’s son made it thru the latest economic turmoil because he was about the only one at his company who could consistently pass a urine test. Makes me feel good when a “England” rig passes me by on the interstate, not.

Duh, the last I heard, it was and is law, that all companies have random drug tests for CDL holders.
