The DOT Drug Testing Panel
Drivers that operate under a DOT drug and alcohol testing program will be have to submit to a pre-employment drug screening, and will be subject randomized testing thereafter. The following substances are included in that screening:
Marijuana
Cocaine
Amphetamines and methamphetamines such as MDMA and MDA
Phencyclidine (PCP)
Opiates, including Codeine, Morphine, Heroin, Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone, Oxycodone and Oxymorphone
These drugs will fail a CMV test. Additionally, the DOT considers a blood alcohol level of 0.02 percent or greater to be a failing result.
