DATCO and DOT Regulated Employers

The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 enforces that drivers operating vehicles that require a commercial driver’s license must be tested for alcohol and controlled substances according to federal regulations.

Employers of federally-regulated drivers are held responsible for conducting controlled substance and alcohol testing programs. The program must include pre-employment, post-accident, random, and reasonable suspicion testing. These federal regulations cover all transportation employers, safety-sensitive transportation employees, and service agents.

If this seems like a lot, don’t worry. DATCO is here to help you get through every step of the DOT Compliance process.
