CDL/Drug Testing

See CDL/Drug Testing Staff

Federal and state laws define when a CDL license is required. (Refer to CDL Standards & Procedures.)

INLOCC’s CDL program for the university (all Indiana locations) includes:

• Pre–employment testing
• Random drug and alcohol tests
• Post accident testing (if the accident involves injury or either vehicle needs towed from the scene because of damages)

If any of your drivers are required to have a CDL, contact Mel Lane to enroll them in the program.

If any of your CDL drivers are arrested for a violation involving drugs or alcohol, immediately contact 1) Mel Lane concerning CDL issues and 2) Heather Teague to have their license checked.

If any of your CDL drivers are involved in an ACCIDENT, they must immediately (from the accident site, if they are not incapacitated by injury) contact Mel Lane (812-929-9214) or Greg Jeffers (812–361–5463) to arrange for post–accident testing.

If they are being transported to the hospital and if possible given their injuries, the hospital should be asked to collect samples for CDL testing.

Drug & Alcohol Testing

If a supervisor has reasonable suspicion that an employee is on–the–job and under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or as part of a continued employment agreement with an employee periodic drug or alcohol testing is required, the supervisor should

• Report the issue up their chain of command as they see fit.
• Contact their campus human resources unit for directions.

If Human Resources is in agreement, the employee may be enrolled in our drug and alcohol testing program. Contact Mel Lane for details. Random testing can be arranged. Ongoing reasonable suspicion testing can be requested by contacting Mel Lane [primary contact] (text: 812-929-9214) or Greg Jeffers (812-361-5463).
