I saw something about a rule that says there is oral testing now that can be used instead of urine testing?
Apparently they are waiting for Laboratories to be certified.
Does anyone know anything about this?

So many jokes, but I don't want to make work for the mods.
Christmas is coming, and I want to be on the good list for once, so I'll refrain.

I've seen and heard of more companies doing hair samples. Now I learn of oral test some years back. But I haven't heard of trucking companies going to that method.

Actually the trucking companies want to move into the oral swab method because it's much quicker, it's cleaner, it's less invasive, and the results are much more accurate.
I know this has all been approved, but they don't have any approved Laboratories yet, but they are working on that.
How will all of this work?
Are the oral tests for every aspect of testing, or only certain types of tests? For example, pre-employment, random, post accident, suspicion Etc.

I also expect, since the collection process is easier, that more carriers will have trained and certified collection site at terminals than with urine as it doesn't require a special bathroom setup or any real privacy to collect the samples.
I figure it will be 12-18 more months before we start seeing it in use.wis bang Thanks this. -
If the trucking company chooses to use that, is that for every aspect of testing? Pre-employment, random, post accident, etc?
