Under federal Department of Transportation rules, if you employone or more commercial drivers who operate certain types of vehicles, you must comply with detailed drug and alcohol testing, training and record keeping regulations. As of January 1, 1998, the percentage of drivers you’re obligated to randomly test for alcohol use has been lowered from 25% to 10%. All other testing provisions are unchanged. For information, call the Federal Highway Administration Office of Motor Carriers in Sacramento at (916) 498-5050 or in Moreno Valley at (909) 653-2299.
