Can employers test drivers covered by Part 382 drug and alcohol regulations conduct drug and alcohol tests at their discretion?

No. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) are very specific about when a driver is subject to drug and/or alcohol testing while working for a motor carrier. These situations include:

  • If the driver’s name is drawn for random drug or alcohol testing as part of a Part 382 random testing program,
  • After an accident that meets the Part 382 criteria for post-accident testing,
  • When a trained supervisor suspects a driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and sends the driver for a reasonable suspicion test, and
  • Return-to-duty and follow-up testing that is prescribed by the substance abuse professional (SAP) who has evaluated a driver after a Part 382 drug or alcohol violation.
