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

Fatigued drivers are VERY COMMON in big rigs.

I woul be shocked if even half the logbooks reflect the true hours driven ,rest time and so on.This has been going on for decades.Trucking companies push the drivers to move the load and ignore the regulations.I’ve seen it personally .

That may or may not be true, but 2 of the last 3 companies I worked for never tested me once I was hired. Just because there’s a law doesn’t mean a thing if it’s never enforced.

As for the other job, I was never tested there either, but I heard of several who were so I give them a break.
