The Trucking Alliance’s Post

Researchers at the University of Tennessee and the University of Central Arkansas just completed their analysis of 38,311 matched pre-employment hair and urine drug tests submitted by licensed truck drivers in 2023. The results show that hair testing identified significantly more drug positives than urine testing, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting lifestyle drug use. These findings highlight the need for the U.S. Department of Transportation to accept positive pre-employment hair test results to the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, as Congress directed the agency to do in 2015. #Trucking #RoadSafety #SaferRoadsForAll #Transportation #HairTesting

Researchers at the University of Tennessee and the University of Central Arkansas analyzed 72,622 matched pre-employment hair and urine drug tests submitted in 2023, by licensed commercial truck drivers. Hair testing uncovered 14x more drug positives than the urine drug tests. Researchers concluded that “to the extent federal agencies wish to improve roadway safety by disqualifying drivers who use drugs, we recommend that carriers be allowed to submit pre-employment hair test results to the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.” #Trucking #RoadSafety #SaferRoadsForAll #Transportation #HairTesting

If an employer has ‘actual knowledge’ of a truck driver’s drug use, other than by a DOT urinalysis, the employer can submit the information to the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. A positive hair drug test is another obvious example of an employer’s actual knowledge. But FMCSA says ‘no.’ Why? #DrugTesting #RoadSafety #SaferRoadsForAll #Trucking #HairTesting

But I was prescribed that medication; How can I be arrested for DUI. Here is the double standard in Nevada Courts. MJ prescriptions will be considered as reason to dismiss a DUI charge but CNS depressant such as Xanax are not. Maybe I was dealing with an inexperienced prosecutor, but the standard is the same for both substances: "To a degree which renders the person incapable of safely driving or exercising actual physical control of a vehicle," A therapeutic dose of Xanax may be up to 100ng in a blood test. What about Cannabis? There isn't one. Tolerance then? The 2ng cannabis limit is arbitrary -- this was the lowest amount the lab could detect when the law was written. An expert witness, such as I, would go a long way to clear up the standard of incapable of safely operating a vehicle. I have thousands of hours evaluating subjects and determining what is safe and what is incapable of safely driving a vehicle. #DuiConsultant #LasVegasDui #DuiAttorney #ExpertWitness #DruggedDriving #DUID
