- 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.
