We've been so busy the last 2 months getting things ready for the new DOT regulations that I haven't posted a thing. What I thought would be a simple switch ended up changing a lot of things! Not only did we welcome the new substances MDMA (ecstasy) and 6 MAM (heroin)but we are now adjusting to the lowered the amphetamine levels as well. DOT is now also requiring the laboratories to report and keep track of each entity. So a DOT drug test can no longer just be a DOT test. It has to be marked as FMCSA, USCG, PHMSA, FAA, or FTA. This is not a huge step but it is something we must be conscience of. First Choice is constantly receiving updates from DOT and DATIA to remind of us of any changes that need to be made. Looking forward to a great year in 2011!
