Please this is not a drug testing question, those properly belong in that forum. This is a question that has been part of a twitter debate I have been part of now most all day. In the guidance section of 382.305 there is question #17 which is as follows. One more note. I retired before the elog mandate and never used them.
The HOS question is simple. How can a driver and/or a carrier comply with that last paragraph in todays world of elogs? If you are off duty and go test, how do you log this time?
Drug testing and HOS question?

I was with Stevens for over 4 years, and I was selected for a drug/alcohol test many times while at the company’s yard. Only once was I selected while OTR.
Now, Stevens is mostly an OTR company. So I’m pretty sure they treat their local drivers differently. Alcohol is an automatic termination with them, except when on “official” home time and authorized by the driver manager. Being out on the road and doing a 34-hr restart does not count as home time at Stevens.Last edited: Feb 25, 2020

“If an employer does not want to notify the driver that he/she has been selected for a random controlled substances test while the driver is in an off-duty status, the employer could set aside the driver’s name for notification until the driver returns to work, as long as the driver returns to work before the next selection for random testing is made.”T One T Thanks this. -
