Dot test
Posted by NumerousTraffic7215@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 13 comments
So I own 3, 389’s and I went for a random dot test (per usual) cleared the urine test but I went for lunch before hand to meet with customers with my wife and had 2 beers before. Off duty and didn’t drive my personal truck, my wife drove. Now they are saying I have to go thru a sap program to get my class A back because I tested .07. What is the next step? I just can’t understand how me being off duty and not working can affect this.

I’ve never heard of anyone being pulled for a random while off duty .
And usually you have a certain number of hours to get the random done after you’re notified that your number was pulled for a random .

Sounds like this guy is the owner and gets to pick when his random gets done. Picked a pretty dumb time to do it if it’s real

Tested 0.07 on a urine drug test? DOT urine drug test don't check for alcohol.

When I get my randoms done, it includes a breathalyzer

If I not mistaken, once you have your CDL, if you are on-duty alcohol testing limit is .04
You present yourself to the test as on-duty, whether you are on-duty/working hours or not.

Yeah dummy, why would do that knowing the limit was .04. It is very easy to go over that if you are not careful.

You had two beers before taking a random drug and alcohol test? This industry never ceases to amaze me.

Drinking before the urine test is the only thing that matters in the eyes of the FMCSA. Additionally 2 beers can be 32 oz beers. You have 3 trucks meaning you can put them to work if you can’t drive.

Random Alcohol test? Those require you to be on duty, or just before or after on duty.
FMCSA Random Testing FAQs see Q4. This sounds exactly like what you’ve described.
