Opioid Overload
People grappling with pain often seek sanctuary within opioid pill bottles. Opioids are synthetic pain-management drugs, the most common of which are oxycodone, hydrocodone and fentanyl. Much like their natural opiate counterparts—morphine, opium, codeine and heroin, all of which are derived from poppy seeds—they bind to the opioid receptors in the brain and keep messages of pain from being delivered to the body, removing the sensation of pain for the user and replacing it with a sensation of comfort and bliss.

Screening Solutions
Hiring new employees is a challenging, time-consuming process, and it’s further complicated by the possibility that candidates may be impaired by drug use. To help mitigate the risk of hiring drug users and to increase workplace safety and productivity, many employers adopt drug screening programs. Hair and urinalysis drug testing are two of the most common forms of screening. Knowing which method to choose can be confusing for companies who want to ensure they’re making the best decision for their organization.
Safety First

But some go beyond regulatory compliance to advance driver safety standards, protect trucking line revenue and avoid unnecessary liability.
