    The FMCSA has begun notifying truck and bus companies they will be required to submit their 2016 drug and alcohol testing results within 60 days.

    The U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has begun notifying selected truck and bus companies that they will be required to submit their 2016 USDOT drug and alcohol testing program results within 60 days. 

    The Annual Drug and Alcohol Information Survey results are used to determine the random testing rates for the following year. 

    Carriers notified by FMCSA that they have been selected to complete the annual survey are required to respond by March 15, 2017.  Failure to respond may result in civil penalties. 

    Here’s more information on USDOT/FMCSA drug and alcohol testing rules and regulations.
