DOT Drug & Alcohol Policy Generator · 49 CFR Part 382 · fill in the left, then save
This produces a strong starting template. Have it reviewed against your DOT agency's rules and your legal counsel before you put it in force. Pick your agency first — 49 CFR Part 40 supplies the common testing procedures, but each operating administration sets its own coverage, testing triggers, policy content and employment consequences (§40.1). The template changes the rules it states based on the mode you select; it is not one universal DOT policy.

Build your written DOT drug & alcohol policy
Most DOT-regulated employers must have a written drug & alcohol testing policy and provide it to covered employees — but that obligation comes from the modal agency rule (for FMCSA it is §382.601), not from Part 40. Part 40 prescribes how DOT tests are conducted; the modal rule supplies the policy, distribution and programme requirements, and they differ between agencies. The generator builds from the agency you select — check that agency’s rule for the exact obligation. Fill in your details on the left and your policy builds live on the right — then print it or save it as a PDF.
