Drug and Alcohol Testing for DOT Owner-Operators

If you are a self-employed truck driver or an owner-operator, you may be regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). When you have a commercial driver’s license (CDL) and can answer yes to at least one of the following questions, you must remain in compliance with DOT drug and alcohol testing.

  1. Is the vehicle you drive 26,001 pounds (11,794 kilograms) or more?

  2. Can the vehicle you drive transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver)?

  3. Is the vehicle you drive required to have a placard when it is used to transport hazardous materials (49 CFR part 172, subpart f)?
