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.
Stimulants can be prescribed, over-the-counter, or illegal drugs. The effects of these drugs can lead to dangerous driving behaviors. We depend on trained supervisors to recognize the effects of stimulant drugs. Knowing what to look for will help to determine if a reasonable suspicion test is needed.
