Overview: Carriers with drivers who require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) need driver supervisors who are trained on alcohol misuse and drug use. They must be familiar with signs of probable misuse. This is an important first step in keeping unsafe, impaired drivers off the road. The Reasonable Suspicion Training curriculum is designed to help learners understand when a driver may be sent for testing and what to do after testing is required.
Alcohol is fairly common and legal in most counties across America. For most adults, the drug is a mild sedative or an easy way to loosen up and have fun. Unfortunately, many people make alcohol use a habit. They grow to use it to the point where it becomes a costly addiction.
