California Return to Duty Drug Testing Services
California leads the nation with over 1.3 million CDL holders operating across the state's vast transportation network. From the massive ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach handling 40% of U.S. container traffic to the agricultural corridors of the Central Valley, California drivers are the backbone of the American supply chain. When a positive drug test threatens your CDL career, our return to duty testing service gets you back behind the wheel quickly and compliantly.
California Cannabis Testing Compliance
California has enacted new employment protections for off-duty cannabis use. As of January 1, 2024, employers cannot discriminate based on non-psychoactive cannabis metabolites detected in hair or urine tests. However, DOT-regulated positions remain subject to federal requirements. CDL holders must still comply with all federal DOT drug testing regulations, which prohibit any marijuana use regardless of state law. Source: California Assembly Bill 2188
