No. Any employee who is available to drive must be in a Random testing program and must report for testing when selected. By regulation, an alternate cannot be substituted. If he does not report for testing when instructed to, this is a Refusal to Test and must be reported to the FMCSA Clearinghouse. He does not want that and needs to go.
The company owner was selected for Random drug and alcohol testing. He only drives occasionally and says he does not need to go. Can I send an alternate?
