He said that at some point, it&#8217;s like arguing whether the sun will rise tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Federal officials don&#8217;t allow carriers to submit hair test results to the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse run by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firms that conduct hair tests for safety reasons face higher costs and may struggle to compete with those that do not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The study points out that drivers who fail a hair test can work for a carrier that only uses urine testing without completing the federally mandated rehabilitation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a prior study, Voss and his colleagues concluded that submitting hair drug samples to FMCSA would ban an extra 276,500 drivers from the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Owner-Operators_Against_Hair_Testing_for_Drug_Screening\"><\/span><strong>Owner-Operators Against Hair Testing for Drug Screening<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most owner-operators oppose the legalization of hair testing as a valid drug screening method. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association argues against federal authorities requiring it. They cite high expenses and insufficient proof of its safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OOIDA doubted the Trucking Alliance&#8217;s recent report. They argued that the Alliance&#8217;s prior studies had supported misleading claims in the hair-testing argument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OOIDA claimed that the current results were based on shadier research. OOIDA will investigate their flimsy accusations, which they undoubtedly hope no one notices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will provide hair testing recommendations as a proposed rule instead of the final regulation. This suggests to OOIDA that this drug-use detection system has unanswered scientific and technological problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_wording\"><\/span><strong>Final wording<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HHS&#8217;s newest recommended guideline is forthcoming. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hair testing in the trucking\/<a href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/\">logistics<\/a> industry could improve safety by identifying and preventing drug users from driving trucks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the other hand, it could result in additional costs for trucking companies administering hair tests voluntarily and may lead to a shortage of drivers if a significant number fail the test.
