[QUOTE="pickup, post: 616734"] let me repeat myself because I buried my reply within bpse's quote: Boys, bspe is right. He (the employer) is forced to comply with the of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety(FMCS) Regulations , specifically in this case 40.25 and 391.25 (google and look them up and you will see that bspe is right) I included a link to a job application for a carrier . On page 4 of the application, there is the authorization form that the prospective driver must sign. here's the link :[url]http://www.colvilleinc.com/employment/dot/ApplicationDOT.pdf[/url] There is a reason for these regulations, if John Truck driver is a cocaine addict and has half a brain, he will go cold turkey for more than three days and pass a preemployment drug test (he'll go cold turkey before he fills out the application) . He will drive for a new company and get busted eventually on a random dot drug test and will be fired. After he goes on another binge , he will go cold turkey and apply to a new company . By having this regulation in effect, the new company is required to ask the old company about any failed drug tests and the old one is required to tell the new one about it. If this regulation didn't exist, you can have a perpetual cocaine addict job hop everytime his habit is detected and the new company has no clue and hence an impaired driver is continually out on the road. With this reg,the driver will be on the sidelines for a few years. [/QUOTE]
