Free FMCSA Assessment

How Strong Is Your DOT Drug & Alcohol Program?

Answer a few questions about your FMCSA program. If your operation does not appear to fall under FMCSA drug and alcohol testing rules, the assessment will stop applying DOT-only requirements and point you toward the appropriate next step.

Takes about 60 seconds. No obligation.

Do you employ drivers who operate commercial motor vehicles that require a CDL?

FMCSA Part 382 generally applies to employers and drivers who operate CMVs requiring a CDL on public roads in commerce.

Yes, we have CDL drivers subject to FMCSA drug and alcohol testing
No, we do not have CDL drivers subject to FMCSA testing
I am not sure whether our drivers or vehicles are covered

Do you provide covered drivers with a current written drug and alcohol policy and required educational materials?

FMCSA requires employers to provide covered drivers with written materials describing the Part 382 requirements and the employer's policies, and to maintain a signed receipt statement.

Yes, current materials are provided and driver receipt is documented
We have a policy, but we are not confident it reflects current requirements or receipt records are incomplete
No formal written DOT policy or educational materials are in place

Is your random testing program being administered using a scientifically valid selection method and the current FMCSA rates?

For 2026, FMCSA's minimum annual random testing rates are 50% for controlled substances and 10% for alcohol. Employers with more than one covered CDL driver may manage their own random program or use a C/TPA. A single-driver employer who is not leased to another motor carrier must participate in a consortium for random testing.

Yes, a C/TPA manages our random program and records
Yes, we manage it internally with a documented scientifically valid selection process
No, or we are not confident the program meets the random testing requirements

Are you registered in the FMCSA Clearinghouse and completing the required employer queries?

A pre-employment full query is required before a covered driver performs safety-sensitive work. Each covered driver also requires an annual query. A limited query can satisfy the annual requirement when its consent and follow-up requirements are met.

Yes, pre-employment and annual query requirements are being completed and documented
We are registered, but our query process or records are inconsistent
No, or we are uncertain about our Clearinghouse status

Have supervisors designated to supervise covered CDL drivers completed FMCSA reasonable-suspicion training?

FMCSA requires at least 60 minutes on alcohol misuse and 60 minutes on controlled-substance use for designated supervisors. A single-driver owner-operator who does not supervise other drivers is not subject to this supervisor-training requirement.

Yes, designated supervisors have completed the required training and we maintain proof
Some designated supervisors are trained, but coverage or documentation is incomplete
No, designated supervisors have not completed the required training
Not applicable: I am a single-driver owner-operator and do not supervise other drivers
