farmer52 - 11/24/2009 16:29 Why are you and your immediate family exempt from drug testing program? I was told by OH DOT that I had to sign up for drug testing program. I am a private not for hire owner. TIA When the drug testing first started in Illinois, I had an employee, and enrolled him in the program. I was told I had to be in the program as well, as I was also a driver. The drug testing involved surprise tests, they told the employer when they would be there so the driver was present when the person doing the testing arrived. I was not to tell the driver he was to be tested, it was to be a surprise. I was also told I would be subject to random testing, I would be told as an employer when it would happen, but I was not to tell myself that I would be tested at that time. After a few years of that silliness, they exempted employer drivers from drug testing in Illinois, but my employee was tested at least once a year. Yes, the above is a true story, silly as it sounds. EDIT: I never hauled grain for hire, just my own grain. I was still under the same rules as someone who hauled for hire. My farm plates were not legal for hire trucking.
