I’ve seen companies from 300 to 5000 drivers implement hair testing alongside DOT urine testing to address safety concerns, and here’s what I’ve learned: 1️⃣ Initially, there’s an uptick in disqualified candidates. 2️⃣ Within 90 days, you start seeing better-quality applicants. 3️⃣ Orientation attendance increases and stabilizes. 4️⃣ Over time, the fleet improves with fewer accidents related to impairment. It’s a strategic move that pays off in the long run.

Understanding FMCSA’s drug and alcohol testing requirements is crucial for maintaining safety in commercial motor vehicle operations.

Those drivers are likely out on US highways today and operating large trucks. Read more: https://bit.ly/3CDWB2v

December is Impaired Driving Awareness Month, a crucial time to remind everyone of the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that impairs your ability to drive safely. Every year, impaired driving leads to countless accidents, injuries, and fatalities that could be prevented. Whether it's alcohol, prescription drugs, or marijuana, driving while impaired puts everyone on the road at risk. Let’s work together to: - Educate ourselves and others about the dangers of impaired driving. - Make safe choices—never drive under the influence. Use a designated driver, ride-sharing service, or public transportation. - Support enforcement efforts to keep roads safe for everyone. Remember, impaired driving isn't just illegal—it's dangerous. Let’s spread the message and protect our communities. #ImpairedDrivingAwareness #TarianCares #SafetyFirst
