A wholesaler CEO says he's having to turn down truckers in the labor shortage because they can't...

"The druggies..." I guarantee the majority of people failing a UA is for marijuana - which is legal in many states. It even mentions in the article:

'The rules on vetting truckers were changed in 2020. Under the new driver Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse system for recording drug and alcohol violations, 72,000 drivers were prohibited from work as of September, per government data. All employers and truckers must update their records annually and all employers must consult the database before they approve a new driver."

"Overwhelmingly, employers see the rules as a positive for safer roads, but some say there are some inconsistencies in the rules, including the fact that different states have different laws surrounding the use of cannabis, per the Post."

I would bet the majority failing it's for marihuana. There's probably some meth in there but I'd bet most of it is marijuana.

That's a problem, but only as it applies to alcohol ... a CDL licensed person is considered DUI at .02% instead of all other drivers at .08%. That's okay if it would ONLY apply wo while operating a commercial rig, but it applies to a CDL holder for ANY & EVERY vehicle they drive! So, a CDL who is on vacation for, say a week, who has dinner out with the wife and has one cocktail, can be charged with DUI for anything below .08%. When police see a person has a CDL, they're very likely to ask if ANY alcohol was consumed and regardless of the answer may still give a Field Sobriety Test, and/or give a roadside breathalyzer (not admissable; but establishes probable cause for an arrest).
Again ... if they're operating a commercial rig, .02% makes sense and avoids drivers hung-over; but should NOT apply when they're in a private vehicle. My son was an Army truck driver and it's why he chose NOT to convert his Army license to a CDL which, in PA, is very easy to do.

Too many different state laws to deal with.

But the billionaires that the GOP gave those yuge trump tax breaks are the real moochers. You know, the criminals who support the GOP.
