    Hey David, thanks for the fantastic video. I did want to follow up on your response re the applicability to a business with vehicles < 26,000 GVWR.
    My read of the statute ( §382.103) a company must implement a DOT drug and alcohol program for all drivers operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that requires the driver to possess a commercial driver’s license (CDL). While vehicles over 10,000 lbs are classified as CMVs, certain vehicles < 26,000 can be operated without a CDL and should be exempt.

Those are all the things I had to take with me. The email has the auditor’s phone number. I called and asked for clarification on some of the items. I had to upload the driver logs two day prior to going to the audit. This particular audit does not charge fines. They were informative. My email came from the department of public safety.
