    Hey all, the application reads: "Was your job designated as a safety sensitive function in any DOT regulated mode subject to alcohol & controlled substances testing requirements as required by 49 CFR part 40?" I have had many jobs where I was tested regularly for drugs and alcohol, but would I answer 'Yes' to that question on the app? Or is that STRICTLY for driving jobs?

    49 CFR part 40 is a Department of Transportation regulation. So if you did not have a commercial driving job before this one, then you would answer NO.

    For example, you work at a warehouse driving a forklift. They drug test you. It is not a DOT regulated job. So even though you took drug screens, you do not fall under the safety sensitive function of the DOT.

    Alright, that's all I needed. Just curious if ANY job that required drug testing would count for that or not. Thanks.
