Answer 1

Quoted from the ICC Motor Carrier Safety Act:

PROHIBITIONS

1. Drug Prohibitions: In accordance with FHWA rules, urinalysis will be conducted to detect the presence of the following substances: Marijuana, Cocaine, Opiates, Amphetamines, and Phencyclidine (PCP). Detection levels requiring a determination of a positive result shall be in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the FHWA in accordance with the recommendations established by the DOT. This program prohibits any drug use that could affect performance of safety-sensitive functions, including:
   1. Use of any drug, except by doctor's prescription, and then only if the doctor has advised the driver that the drug will not adversely affect the driver's ability to safely operate the commercial motor vehicle.
   2. Testing positive for any drug.
2. Refusal to Take Required Test: Refusal by employee to submit to required alcohol and/or drug testing will constitute a positive test result.
3. Prescription Medications. Drivers taking legally prescribed medications issued by a licensed health care professional familiar with the driver's work-related responsibilities must report such use to their immediate supervisor or dispatcher, and may be required to present written evidence from the health care professional which describes the effects such medications may have on the driver's ability to perform his/her tasks. In the sole discretion of the driver's supervisor, a driver may be temporarily removed, with pay, from a safety-sensitive position if deemed appropriate.
