    ~Referencing pre-employment drug and alcohol testing: A conditional offer of employment generally must be extended before this testing can be required. In other words, you have to be offered employment contingent upon you passing these tests. If you fail, then the employment offer is revoked. Hence why at orientation the drug and alcohol screening happens first, before you technically begin employment.

    ~Referencing mouthwash, a typical bottle of mouthwash is between 28 proof and 54 proof. I''m aware of a person who recently guzzled a bottle of Scope and ended up with a BAC of over .17.

    The Crete safety man said we could use mouthwash containing alcohol, and they're the most anal nit picky people on the planet

    When I went for training for running a breath test at the Shefiff's office, they used mouthwash to show how the machine worked

    I don't believe that alcohol testing is required by USDOT for pre-employment, although some carriers may elect to do so.
