What are the consequences of engaging in prohibited behavior?
  • Specific consequences result from a driver who engages in prohibited behavior.

Drivers who engage in drug and/or alcohol behaviors prohibited by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) will face specific consequences.

The regulations require employers to take the following actions:

  • Notify the driver,
  • Pull the driver from safety-sensitive functions,
  • Refer to the driver to a substance abuse professional (SAP),
  • When applicable, report the violation to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, and
  • Keep and share records related to the driver’s drug and/or alcohol test.

Drivers cannot return to a safety-sensitive duty until the completion of the return-to-duty process.
