How the Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) Helps Your CDL Onboarding Process

Those who are onboarding a position that requires the employee to hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) must pull Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs)as part of the onboarding procedure. To gain access to that information, the American Association of Motor Vehicles (AAMVA) has a Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) which will help employers verify CDL information.

This process delivers detailed information on the applicant to ensure that they will make a safe and reliable hire.

Can you Test If Someone Is High at The Moment?
Drug use in the workplace can come at a great cost and with may risks to both employers and employees alike. With the opioid epidemic on the rise and the legalization of marijuana changing across states, it’s imperative that employers are well informed of not only how to detect impairment in the workplace, but what actions they can or cannot take. Unfortunately, technologies aren’t quite at the level of detecting whether or not someone is currently impaired, but there are steps and precautions an employer can take to protect their company from employees who abuse or misuse drugs while on the job.

Tennessee's Update to Voluntary Prescription Law Changes Requirements for Employers to Receive Insurance Premium Discounts
As of June 15, 2019, Tennessee passed HB 389 and SB 312 which adjusts the Tennessee voluntary prescription law. The updated statute allows employers to adopt drug testing practices that limits the timeframe for a prescription to six months within the date of an applicant or employee’s drug test. The optional provision states that a Medical Review Officer (MRO) who is reviewing a prescription following a confirmed positive drug test result can only consider a prescription that was issued in the previous six months as “valid”. Typically, Tennessee’s voluntary laws closely align with the Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 40 (Part 40) which does not give a set length of time for MROs to determine a “valid” prescription when overturning a non-negative/positive test result. However, Tennessee strays from that pattern in the new law and the MRO’s standard takes another approach as outlined below.
