This course, developed in conjunction with the experts from the Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), provides training in recognizing alcohol misuse and drug use by CMV drivers. Anyone with reasonable suspicion training has the authority to order a reasonable suspicion drug or alcohol test for a driver under certain conditions.

This course covers the regulations related to reasonable suspicion testing, including the procedure for ordering the test. This course also presents the physical, behavioral, speech, and performance indicators that could indicate drug use or alcohol misuse, and therefore trigger a reasonable suspicion test.
