What Does Physical Exam Mean?

Consortium Versus Clearinghouse:

Image
DOT auditors tell us that one of the most common violations they see now is CDL drivers not participating in a drug and alcohol testing program (or an owner-operator working with a consortium), or companies not registering or using stored DOT drugs and alcohol The CDL Clearinghouse for Violations. This became apparent when new carriers conducted new entrant audits within the first 6-12 months of operations, and auditors found these errors. The purpose of this article is to help drivers and carriers understand the difference between the Drug and Alcohol Alliance and the CDL Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, understand their requirements, and find out what, if any, you need to use. What is the DOT Consortium? Let's start with the basics. The DOT Alliance is a must-have DOT drug and alcohol testing program for any employee operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that requires a CDL in intrastate or interstate commerce.

How do I pass a urine drug test?

 Urine Drug Test All information is about urine testing for THC. Other types of drug tests have different procedures and take into account additional information. For the average marijuana user, there's nothing scarier to say than "we need you to take a urine drug test." This seemingly innocuous statement is enough to get the most rational person online trying to figure out how to pass a urine test. While recreational and medicinal marijuana is increasingly legal across the country, it remains standard practice for employers to require THC urine drug testing as a condition of employment or for employees to undergo random drug testing. While there is a wealth of information online explaining how to pass a marijuana drug test, it can be difficult to determine which information is accurate and which is actually an unreliable drug test myth. That's why we've compiled this guide on how to pass the weed drug test in urine. Below, we break down how long THC will re

The 4 Steps of the Return to Duty Process

Image
Return toDuty Process RTD Step 1: Obtain a Substance Abuse Specialist (SAP) Evaluation Your employer must provide a free list of DOT certified SAPs. The list can be compiled by your employer, or from a consortium/third-party administrator (C/TPA) or other service agent. The list must contain the name, address, and phone number of an approved local SAP. You are also free to choose your own based on your research. SAP will conduct a face-to-face substance abuse assessment. The assessment must provide: A comprehensive and clinical assessment of your drug or alcohol related problems. Treatment and/or educational programs and referrals that must be completed prior to returning to any commercial driving and safety-sensitive duties. A written report directly to your Designated Employer Representative (DER) stating your post-assessment education/treatment plan recommendations. RTD Step 2: Completion of the SAP-assigned therapeutic and/or educational program If you want to get b

What is a consortium?

 Consortium: A consortium is a partnership of two or more organizations to establish their own official randomized drug testing programmed. To see if your organization is eligible, please contact our office. DOT Random Drug Testing Consortium: Our DOT Consortium offers random DOT drug and alcohol testing structures. The consortium acts as a "Third Party Administrator (TPA)" for members. Read on for more details about our DOT drug testing alliance services, or call us for information on joining the alliance. Example of a Drug Testing Consortium: A trucking company with only two or three drivers has a hard time implementing a successful random drug testing program. Instead, they can join a consortium where their drivers' names are merged with the names of other drivers from other companies. The random name generator then selects a driver from this pool. This more completely randomized their drug testing program. goMDnow to establish your commercial drug testing
