I would say it depends on the accident and whether they are trying to prove you were sober. Most trucking companies I know of other than fedex and ups will only drug test you for liability reasons or government regulation.
Especially in a fatality crash incident, they are trying to wiggle out of that civil and legal lawsuit as best they can.
My experience with this issue is hearing a lawyer talking about companies dragging their feet to produce a drug test and trying to sweep it under after a crash. One of the drivers ended up having cocaine in their system and it was a slam dunk in determining who was at fault.
So I unno maybe that’s just a ty example or maybe par for the course.
Thats a blood sugar test.Can test anytime they desire.
So wrong! The DOT exam does NOT, in any way, test for diabetes!

It does actually.
Hey now!from Florida?
What do you suggest? Cause if we(CDL holder) deny a test it's as good as saying you're positive and pulled from service. So.....I'm all ears.What kind of bozo wants to be drug tested? This has to be the dumbest thought one could have, especially in our industry. What happens when the test comes back bad, even though you're clean? What happens when you have to get tested every week cuz management said so?
Some of ya'll are so gullible, a drug test is just another lever to mess with you, I would not be lining up to ask the company to start doing this, seems absurd.
Depends on how serious the accident is and if anyone gets hurt. They can also test you if they have reasonable suspicionHow is it that we’ve had a few drivers in our center that have had accidents happen and no drug testing has been done what’s the procedure for them to drug test?
They do, at least here in order to get a DOT card you have to piss in a cup. 1 of these days I'ma gonna get the hot nurse to hold "it" for my test!
Not only that, but when the tester first makes contact with you notifying you they need to test you you can't leave his sight until finished.From my experience, someone has to watch you pee for any drug testing.

I have plenty of suspicions on certain drivers.Depends on how serious the accident is and if anyone gets hurt. They can also test you if they have reasonable suspicion
And plenty of supervisors would be walked out the door also.I have plenty of suspicions on certain drivers.
