I am an owner operator with cdl but truck is intrastate only and weights under 26001 pounds. I just got my usdot number do I need to do a drug screen

Good Morning! I was hit a parked CMV in a truck stop parking lot. Police weren’t called, no tickets or citations, however there was enough damage that the truck was towed. Is that DOT reportable being that it wasn’t on a highway? Thanks!!

@Trucksafe 8 ай бұрын

If the lot isn’t blocked off to public travel with gates or signs, then the accident would still be DOT-recordable. But wouldn’t require post-accident testing since there was no citation.

If I refused a pre-employment drug screen for a driver/helper position with a chance to get cdl. Does that go to clearing house? I had an interview with Labatt and had to take a drug test for them well the lady that took my urine was having a bad day or idk what her problem was but she didn’t even look at my pee she grabbed it from my hands and threw it away and immediately asked me to wait another 3 hours before I can test again. So I left. It was a pre employment drug screen for Labatt the job was a driver helper position with a chance to get a cdl in 6months.

If I pass a dot drug test for a prospective employer but I am flagged for tampering because I was talking about things I shouldn’t have and made the tester suspicious that I cheated on the test without actually cheating. Does clearing house mark the exact reason why it would be flagged? Can talking about cheating actually be labeled tampering without actually tampering anything? I’m worried future employers might not want to hire me due to the possible labels used on clearinghouse… and I also don’t really want to have my privacy invaded through an observed test. Also can I request a retest? Or a hair follicle/ mouth swab test to confirm? Would a retest make the possible tampering flag disappear?

Quick Question: if you fail a DOT pre employment drug test for an employer who doesn’t require a CDL to drive there smaller trucks. Does that get reported to the clearinghouse?

@Trucksafe 2 ай бұрын

If they weren’t requiring you to operate a CDL-sized vehicle, it shouldn’t have been a DOT test in the first place and so should not be reported to the Clearinghouse. Whether they know that or not is the question.

@BreadManAustin 2 ай бұрын

@@Trucksafe Thank you, I greatly appreciate the response. They did require a DOT physical but the DOT drug test was a surprise to me as well. It said on the application it was regulated by 49 CFR 391.21 & no request or mentions of the clearinghouse was made to me. So i assumed they wouldn’t be able to report to the clearinghouse. Correct?

@Trucksafe 2 ай бұрын

@BreadManAustin Just depends if they conducted as an actual DOT test or not. If DOT, they may end up reporting it. If non-DOT, then probably not.

@BreadManAustin 2 ай бұрын

@@Trucksafe Thank you very much! I actually looked back on the paper work I was sent with to the testing facility & under regulation it said NON-DOT. So I should be in the clear just in case I didn’t pass. As long as they scanned that paperwork then it should went in as a NON-DOT test? The facility wouldn’t have changed it as far as you know?

Why are trucking school drug screens considered pre-employment? It really makes no sense!

@Hammerdownke11ey 8 ай бұрын

Question? If someone hires me can they give the house false information on test results? Actually I’ll do a video on the situation i had been in. I was conned into driving for this livestock hauler jack wagon. We will call this jack wagon, Daniel Shipp, and his partner, Craig. These two will be exposed throughout my channel as I hope others can learn from this, and not be caught up in the con that I was in,

Another regulation against cdl drivers and truck companies. GlAD that i quite driving 2019 after the E-Log after 14 year's owner operator. Seance than i say you are brainless to be driving a truck this day's! Stay away to over the road driving will ruin your life in every way and you will never make money. Not worthy even if you get $1 a mile As the drivers became more stupid the government will F..k you more. If you do any business with a trucking companies for example you are mechanic just charge thim way more! Don't forgot regardless how much they loose they going to be happy that they are driving so at least make money on the them like the CLEARINGHOUSE makes money. 5 years out of diving and proud of that!

What are you doing now for income? I just graduated cdl school and seeing your comment now makes me skeptical about the industry. What trade would you recommend a 30 yr old getting into if not trucking?
