    If you are hauling for revenue and earn a living as in real work or similar, then yes you need to be a part of a drug testing situation somewhere.

    You cannot "Not" have drug testing as part of work in trucking.

    Under 26K no consortium, but must have drivers file with pre-hire drug test. And yes, you still needed even if you are owner and one man crew. If you drive it is needed.
