Hello dear friends and driver's alike,

First and foremost...YES...we are OPEN!

For those that are wondering...there are NO changes in place at this time regarding random draw selections. If a driver is drawn then it is up to your company to see that the driver tests.

That being said there are exceptions. One, IF the draw center is out of supplies or closed or not taking people at the time. You will have to get information from the draw center to prove this and keep on file.

Companies that close temperately do not have to test while closed, so long as you can show proof that your business is closed during this time. This would need to be given to the audit specialist at the time they would request it. When you re-open, then the selected driver's would need to be sent in for testing PRIOR to bringing them back on full-time. This is because the government doesn't want driver's "using" during this down time.

Companies that are not closing but going on a "limited operating" bases (only owner or HR or secretary, etc. continuing to work for instance) will need to send selected driver's down for testing during this time off as the company is not "fully closed".

The main thing to remember is this...drug and alcohol random draws are still to be handled as normal. This is the way it will be until the government either closes the randoms or advises us differently.

I hope this answers your questions. If not, please contact me with any questions you may have and I will try to get them answered.

All our best for you during this time.

Please stay safe and healthy! Follow the general guild-lines regarding the COVID-19 to help stop the spreading of it!

U.S. Transportation and Infrastructure Industries, has announced that effective January 1st, 2018, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will require the screening of Hydromorphone, Oxymorphone, Oxycodone in addition to Amphetamines, Co***ne, Ma*****na, MDA, P*P, and Opiates, for all Safety Sensitive positions regulated by CFR 49 Part 40.

This change in the DOT drug test reflects the current Opioid Crisis and President Donald Trump's declaration of a public health emergency as it relates to opioid addiction. Previously, the U.S. Department of Transportation required only a 5-panel drug test for pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion for DOT covered positions, however, these additional drugs will enhance the 5-panel drug test and will now be commonly referred to in the drug testing industry as a 5-panel plus expanded opioids drug test.

This new rule enacted by The Department of Transportation will affect Truck Drivers, Airline Pilots, Passenger Van Operators, Train Engineers, Bus Drivers, Subway Operators, Boat Captains, Merchant Mariners, and other positions designated as Safety Sensitive and regulated by DOT agencies including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), United States Coast Guard (USCG), and Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA).

DOT Consortium has modified its 5-panel drug test to comply with this new amendment to DOT Part 40 and all DOT Consortium Testing Centers Nationwide
