Large commercial trucks are an important part of our economy. Since they can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds with fully-loaded cargo, it takes a great deal of skill and responsibility to operate one of these massive vehicles.
One of the most dangerous things a commercial truck driver can do is get behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or certain medications.
Many substances have overlapping effects on drivers’ judgment, reaction time, coordination, muscle control and visual functioning.
- Marijuana — 10,388 positive tests
- Cocaine — 3,192 positive tests
- Methamphetamine — 2,184 positive tests
