Controlled Substances and Alcohol BASIC: Rules, Regs and Best Practices For Managing Violations

from Safety Matters From Reliance Partners

For this Safety Matters edition of the podcast, we will be focusing on the Controlled Substances and Alcohol BASIC as we continue our series exploring each of the Seven Basics that are part of the FMCSA’s Compliance, Safety and Accountability Enforcement Program. Mark Barlar and Daniel Vega from the Reliance Partners Safety Impact Team will serve as our subject-matter experts as we look at the critical aspects of rules related to controlled substances and alcohol regulations, including how these violations are weighted and scored by FMCSA. In addition to walking through the rules and regulations found within the Controlled Substances and Alcohol BASIC, we will discuss driver education related to this BASIC and we will cover best practices for managing violations, including Data Qs, dismissals and legal considerations. Thom Albrecht, the Chief Revenue Officer at Reliance Partners, serves as your host and moderator for this episode of Trucking Matters. A live version of this episode was originally shared on February 12th as part of the Reliance Partners webinar series on the Seven Basics.
