8040.01 | Pre-Employment Testing

All prospective drivers will be tested for the presence of illegal drugs prior to driving a commercial vehicle for the District. Furthermore, all prospective drivers must disclose to the District all previous employers for whom they have worked as a CDL driver within the past two (2) years. The District will then request from those employees information regarding any incidents where the prospective driver has tested positive for illegal drugs or alcohol, or refused to test within the last two (2) years. In the event the District receives information from a past employer that the prospective driver has tested positive for drugs or alcohol within the last two (2) years, that prospective driver will not be offered employment, or their conditional employment will be terminated with the District. Drivers will be required to sign a consent form authorizing the District to conduct a check of each employer the driver has been employed with during the past two (2) year as a CDL driver to determine if the driver has tested positive for illegal drugs or alcohol.
