My boss is considering taking some out of state jobs and I need a dot physical card my question is do they drug test envolved in getting a physical card? There are certain people I'd like to see get tested.

there is no drug testing when getting a dot me card. Trucking companies have to do prehire drug testing and then random testing. DOT physical chk eye's, heart, hearing, hernia's & for diabeties.

True, however ANY Company can as well stipulate that a Drug Test will be performed along with the Physical as in Prehire or Random.
I had a DOT Physical WITH a Drug test, 2 weeks back for a Prehire.
