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.
Driver supervisors need to know testing procedures so they can provide answers. All tests should be conducted in a manner that ensures valid results and respects the driver's dignity.
Reasonable Suspicion Training: Test Results is designed to help driver supervisors understand best practices to follow when they receive results.
