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.
Marijuana and opioids are classified as depressants. The effects of these drugs can lead to dangerous driving behaviors. Trained supervisors need to recognize the effects of these drugs. This will help to determine if a reasonable suspicion test is required.
