How about truck stop random drug tests...though in this case, if its not alcohol, methadone and most drugs would need other tests than a breathylizer.
But the company could mandate tougher drugs tests.

“How about truck stop random drug tests”

I’m a bit surprised they aren’t doing that already.

It’s hard to find any driving job anymore that doesn’t drug test on a regular basis, for insurance reasons if nothing else. One good wreck by a driver under the influence can ruin a company.

I would actually prefer to drive for a company with a strick drug policy, it would make me feel better about a company like that. Trucks weigh way too much to have some moron high on something driving them. It’s hard enough to keep them on the road at times when sober.
