DRIVER RESPONSIBILITIES. A. When DRIVER receives notice of a drug and/or alcohol test, DRIVER shall proceed directly to the nearest collection site. MRO will have sole discretion to determine if DRIVER does not meet this requirement of 49 CFR 382.305(h) and therefore has refused to test. B. DRIVER must have a collection site and testing facility available immediately wherever DRIVER may be at any time. If DRIVER expects to have specimens collected at locations other than CMR in Lodi, CA, s/he must keep a Custody and Control Form (CCF) from CMR, at all times. Driver must request CCF from CMR whenever it may be needed. C. DRIVER shall provide MRO with a current mailing address at all times. D. DRIVER shall provide MRO with at least one current telephone number at all times. If DRIVER cannot be reached for testing after reasonable attempts to do so with all available means over a period of 3 days on two separate occasions at least one week apart, DRIVER will be considered to have discontinued enrollment in the program. E. If DRIVER is to be unavailable for more than 3 days, AND will not be operating a commercial vehicle during that period of time, MRO must be informed in advance. F. If DRIVER is not available for more than 30 days, DRIVER must suspend participation in the program. Upon return to work after such an interval, a pre-employment DOT drug test must be performed as part of re-activating participation. G. If MRO is unable to contact an employee for an interview, MRO shall contact DRIVER as soon as practicable by mail and request DRIVER to contact the MRO within 24 hours of receipt of the letter. Lack of response may result in verification of the test as positive for drugs and shall notify Clearingouse of the result. H. If the DRIVER does not come to the Lodi office of CMR for testing, DRIVER is responsible for ensuring the collection practice meets all DOT and/or DHHS requirements for drug testing. I. If DRIVER does not come the Lodi office of CMR for testing, DRIVER is responsible to pay for any alcohol testing required at that time. J. If post-accident, return-to-duty, or follow-up testing is performed, DRIVER is responsible for the cost. If collection is made at a site other than CMR Lodi CA facility, DRIVER shall pay the site its usual fee for collection. For tests requiring observation of collection, extra charges apply. K. DRIVER is responsible for all additional laboratory costs for reanalysis and additional tests. L. If DRIVER’s test is determined a VERIFIED POSITIVE or a REFUSAL by MRO, DRIVER is to find a Substance Abuse Professional on the Clearinghouse website, to whom DRIVER may turn for evaluation and return-to-work plan. DRIVER alone will be responsible for any costs incurred. M. In accordance with DOT guidelines, the following rules will be followed where the MRO or the laboratory has canceled a test: • A DRIVER whose urine specimen was submitted for controlled substances testing for pre-employment or return to duty testing, which is canceled by the laboratory or the MRO shall resubmit a urine specimen for testing. • A DRIVER whose urine specimen was submitted for testing for post-accident or random controlled substances testing under this policy which is canceled by the laboratory or MRO shall not resubmit a urine specimen for testing.
