I know of a OTR driver that uses extacy while he drives... What can I do?

Yep sounds like they should've randomed this guy instead of me. Oh well even if the OP doesn't call this guy will get his in the end. He'll end up getting in an accident and have to go piss in that cup and then lose his license and his freedom. Karma sucks

 

Rolling a truck doesn't call for a drug test.....

 

I would call the state police, and the DOT. This guy could kill several people. And all of us truckers pay the consequences of that. If your reasonably sure by all means call. You could save many lives by doing so.

 

Anytime a vehicle has to be towed, for the most part you have to take a P test within a certain amount of time. Unless they have changed the rules.

§ 382.303Post-accident testing.(a) As soon as practicable following an occurrence involving a commercial motor vehicle operating on a public road in commerce, each employer shall test for alcohol for each of its surviving drivers:(1) Who was performing safety-sensitive functions with respect to the vehicle, if the accident involved the loss of human life; or(2) Who receives a citation within 8 hours of the occurrence under State or local law for a moving traffic violation arising from the accident, if the accident involved:(i) Bodily injury to any person who, as a result of the injury, immediately receives medical treatment away from the scene of the accident; or(ii) One or more motor vehicles incurring disabling damage as a result of the accident, requiring the motor vehicle to be transported away from the scene by a tow truck or other motor vehicle.

 

If this driver is not the owner of the company, you can just inform either the safety department/manager/supervisor of the company anonymously that you suspect the driver is taking ecstasy while driving. You can give them all the information you have, but do not tell them you know for sure, because you don't.

At this point the company can't just give the driver a random test because it wouldn't be really random. However, if the company follows DOT regulations at least one person at the company received supervisor reasonable suspicion training. This training provides a proper procedure for the company employees to observe this driver, and if they collect enough evidence to show that is very possible that he might be doing so, they can give the driver a reasonable suspicion test.

You can find more information out about reasonable suspicion testing here: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=382.307

 

If you report him you're gonna loose a friend out of it. If you decide to call them up; tell them your story and say you do not know for sure if he is using or just bragging about it. If the owner of the company knows, he say something along the lines of "thank you for the information and I need to get back to work". If he doesn't, he'll question your sources and act surprised. If does know and admits he knows, do what you think is the right thing.

talk is cheap if he is on dope action
is req.

 

Drug test is only required if there was a citation and a tow away. If no citation is issued, the only time a drug test is required is when there is a fatality.

If you look more closely at what you posted, that part referring to the tow away is a subsection to section 2, which refers to getting a citation.

 

I did see that part about the citation wasn't sure if that was an exception or not. Thanks for the clarification. Also the way the guy spoke about the rollover accident. If he is as wreckless as he claims. I would of thought he got a citation.
