Adding Drivers Instructions
Drivers are automatically added to the Random Pool when our MRO reports Negative Pre-Employment DOT Drug Test Results. Once a Driver is Added, you will receive an updated Active Drivers List.
- DOT requires a new Pre-Employment DOT Drug Test if a Driver has been out of a Random Pool or if the Company has a Membership Gap of 30+ days.
