Drug prohibitions
  • Several drug prohibitions apply to CMV drivers.

For drugs, drivers must never:

  • Report for duty or remain on duty requiring the performance of safety-sensitive functions when the driver uses any substance identified in 21 CFR 1308.11, Schedule I, or uses any substance identified in the other Schedules of Controlled Substances without doing so under the instructions of a licensed medical practitioner who is familiar with the driver’s medical history and has advised the driver that the substance will not adversely affect the driver’s ability to drive safely;
  • Report for duty, remain on duty, or perform a safety-sensitive function if the driver tests positive or has adulterated or substituted a test specimen for controlled substances; or
  • Refuse to submit to any Department of Transportation-required drug test.

Drug tests look for evidence of five specific drugs or classes of drugs:

  • Marijuana (THC)
  • Cocaine
  • Opioids
  • Phencyclidine (PCP)
  • Amphetamines
