FMCSA Issues Proposed Rule Concerning Safety Performance History of New Drivers The FMCSA is proposing rules that would require that employers investigate and acquire information on, among other things, a driver's previous drug and alcohol testing program violations for the past three years. Under Part 40, all employers are required to request this information for the past two years. The FMCSA estimates that this information will result in 16,000 commercial driver applicants that will be denied employment, and that the rulemaking will enhance safety. DATIA will work with its Legislative and Regulatory Committee to provide comment on the regulation, once the Committee finishes its review of the DOT Substituted Specimen rulemaking.

Question & Answer: Excerpts from the DATIA Forum Question: I recently encountered a company that has been combining covered DOT employees and non-covered employees in one random pool. Should this be done? Answer: Covered DOT employees and non-covered employees must not be in the same random testing pool. Having everyone in one pool can affect the company's ability to meet the random testing rates for covered employees in a particular mode. |
