Drug/controlled substance level tests are not required as ancillary information during the medical examination process of CMV drivers because:
  1. The medical examiner is not capable of interpreting the test results.
  2. It is the responsibility of the CMV driver’s employer to conduct these tests pre-employment.
  3. The medical examiner must not rely on these tests solely to determine the drug abuse problem.
  4. They do not provide any evidence that the CMV driver has a drug abuse problem.
Explanation
Answer: B - It is the responsibility of the CMV driver’s employer to conduct these tests pre-employment.

This is the correct answer because according to 49 CFR 382 regulations, employers must conduct drug testing for CMV drivers pre-employment and post-accident. According to FMCSA guidelines,the fundamental obligation of a medical examiner in this regard is only to evaluate and confirm that a CMV driver has no effects/side effects, as a result of drug abuse, that may interfere with their ability to drive safely.
