How does Schneider test for alcohol during their pre employment? I know they do a hair test for drugs, but what method do they use to test alcohol? I’m not an excessive drinker, but I do like to have a lil liq when I have an opportunity. FYI I am fully aware of the consequences for dui and will not have any issues, just looking for a little clarification.

I'm not with Schneider but I imagine they do it like everyone else. A standard DOT UA test. Don't get drunk for a couple of days before the test and all the alcohol will be out of your system.
Puppage Thanks this. -
I wouldn’t have anything to drink while at orientation either........

I'm guessing it's just a standard UA alcohol test. No idea why the other guy is saying a few days, last company I worked for told me I could have a beer 8 hours prior to the test.
I did just that, and passed. I'm guessing they are just checking to see if you go to the test drunk. -
When I went to orientation, Schneider considered that business and asked you not drink during you time there.
Of course the next day a guy showed up half drunk to class, they had him do another alcohol test and washed him out.tmb0507, gentleroger and Sirscrapntruckalot Thank this. -
If you are in their truck they can make you take a random alcohol test at any time, if you are off duty at home not under a load they can not ask you to take one till you are put under a p/u for a load is how it was told to me when my co. call me to take one?

To help you prepare for your test...
This is beer.
Whiskey..
Vodka...not good Vodka...but it's vodka!
Rum
Tequila
If they ask the bonus question regarding Patron the proper answer is "No self respecting tequila fan would drink that ####. WTF is the matter with you?!"
An remember if they ask if you brought any drugs or alcohol to orientation...the proper answer is NOT
Good luck, and remember...just say no to Patron.

Carriers can test for alcohol either "Officially" or "Unofficially" I have seen safety critters using the portable testers unannounced! In fact, I used to watch a small fleet owner test his drivers several times a week.
Just to go see what the rules are. I'm not going to copy and paste!
Subpart L—Alcohol Screening Tests
§40.247 What procedures does the BAT or STT follow after a screening test result?
