Who is the actual person who requests the drug report when getting your CDL????? The FMCSA rules apply to safety-sensitive employees, who operate commercial motor vehicles requiring a CDL. Examples of drivers and employers that are subject to these rules are (the following does not represent a complete listing): Anyone who owns or leases commercial motor vehicles Anyone who assigns drivers to operate commercial motor vehicles Federal, State, and local governments For-Hire Motor Carriers Private Motor Carriers Civic Organizations (Disabled Veteran Transport, Boy/Girl Scouts, etc.) Churches from the fmsca website here's the link, read it for yourself. http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regul...engtesting.htm

Here is the rule. Employers are required to have a test done. I'm the employer and I'm part of a random drug testing program which I get the results.
The ONLY thing I was stating is that YOU DO NOT NEED a drug test to get a CDL, period. WHO DOES THE TESTING? Employers are responsible for implementing and conducting the testing programs. They may do this using their own employees or contract services, or by joining together in a consortium that provides services to all member companies. Law enforcement officers will not conduct the tests as part of roadside or other inspections. However, under certain circumstances, post-accident tests conducted by law enforcement personnel will be acceptable. Any individual conducting the test must be trained to operate the EBT and be proficient in the breath testing procedures.
