Fines for not having pre-employment drug testing and randoms

Let's us know, it probably depends on if your a new company and it really an honest mistake. If it looks like you were just ignoring the law to get drivers and have lots of bad inspections.

That a pretty serious violation I would think but it probably depends on a lot of different things

 

I'm a driver and don't know the office side of things. I know it a requirement. So if your fixing the problem they probably cut some slack.

 

What triggered the audit?

No drug testing in place is a big no-no. If I were you I would immediately get into a drug consortium program and also drug test all your drivers asap. This is one of those things they can even put the authority on hold or even revoke it. You want to appease them at this point. They will say a company in business since 2005 should know better.

 

It was my understanding from when they done my new entrant audit that not having drug testing in place was an OOS type deaI.

 

I would absolutely drug test all drivers immediately. That will hopefully show the fmcsa you are on the straight and narrow and are taking this seriously. It will show you have taken corrective action for moving forward. I think if you do not do this - your autbority is on the line ....

 

There's no way a carrier does not know that PE and random drug testing is required.

TR is going light on the OP. Every time we get a driver on here talking about how he did this or that weeks before his drug test, he gets the 3rd degree. Now we have a carrier say they didn't know about drug testing requirements and you guys gloss over it?
