Non DOT drivers put on the Road
We are a Portable Lighting company. Us drivers drive company pickup trucks pulling light tower trailers all over the country. We aren’t required to have CDL’s for what we pull but do have to be registered with DOT and mandatory random drug tests. I may not be using all the correct terminology, but that’s how it was explained to me. Both I and our other driver are registered and have to take these drug tests, as i said ive been called in for one every month for 4 months straight. We have another employee who used to drive for us (moved to a different position) and was never registered with DOT, yet he still keeps getting put on the road, i can always smell weed on him and i know for a fact he smokes and drives. Is there anything I can do? If i fail a drug test i lose my job, yet he can blow down on the road like it’s the 60’s

Non DOT drivers put on the Road
Including myself, my company has 2 actual drivers who are DOT certified and have to take random drug tests. I have been called every month for 4 months. Meanwhile my company is putting other employees on the road that are not DOT, what can I do?

So Kearsey first off you dont know me so you could always start off by not being a you know what, im simply asking for advice not your attitude. I am not concerned with taking drug tests myself as ive been doing it that’s not the problem. The problem is we are expected to do this but he is not? We are required to register with DOT but he is not and pulls the exact same stuff as us, that seems right to you, Kearsey? I’ve been doing this type of work for over a decade now, so i dont need your sarcastic welcome to the trucking community. Next time try being more cordial with your response. It costs zero cents a day for you to be cordial with people you dont know simply asking for advice.
