Under what circumstances do CDL drivers have to be tested for drugs and alcohol following an accident?

RegSensePost-accident drug and alcohol testing - Motor CarrierEnglishFleet SafetyFederal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOTDrug and Alcohol Testing - DOTDrug testing - Motor CarrierBest ResultsFAQFocus AreaAlcohol testing - Motor CarrierTransportationUSA

There are three situations in which a commercial driver must be tested for drugs and alcohol following an accident:

  • Any time the accident results in a fatality,
  • If the commercial driver receives a citation AND someone in the accident is injured and receives immediate medical attention away from the scene, or
  • If the commercial driver receives a citation AND one or more vehicles incur disabling damage requiring the vehicle to be towed from the scene.

If the accident only involves getting on or off the vehicle, or the loading or unloading of cargo, the driver would not be required to have a post-accident drug or alcohol test.
