FMCSA Issues Waiver Expanding Drug Testing Exception for Furloughed Drivers
June 15, 2020
On Tuesday, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced a waiver extending from 30 days to 90 days, the period under which drivers qualify for pre-employment testing exception under FMCSA regulations.
This is good news for petroleum marketers and heating fuel dealers who furloughed drivers due to the COVID-19 emergency because it will reduce or eliminate the number of pre-employment drug tests required for returning drivers.
