The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), along with the Department of Transportation (DOT), requires that persons subject to the commercial driver’s license (CDL) requirements and their employers follow alcohol and drug testing rules. These rules include procedures for testing, frequency of tests, and substances tested for.

​

DOT testing is conducted for both alcohol and drugs. The drugs that are tested are the following:

• Amphetamines (including methamphetamine)

• Opiates (including heroin, codeine, and morphine)​

• Marijuana/THC
