The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has recently issued a directive regarding requests to downgrade a DOT drug test to a non-DOT drug test. As of February 5, 2024, the FMCSA will no longer accept requests to convert a DOT drug test to a non-DOT drug test.
Today, May 2, 2023, the Department of Transportation (DOT) published a final rule that authorizes employers to use oral fluid drug testing as an alternative testing methodology to urine drug testing.
A new rule established by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is calling for the inclusion of oral fluid testing in the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs, including the US Department of Transportation (DOT).
