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.
