[WEBINAR] The BASICS of Drug and Alcohol Testing Compliance | Foley

The federal government loves its acronyms. But BASIC is one that all DOT-regulated motor carriers need to know.  

BASIC stands for Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category. (Yes, it’s a mouthful.)  

The Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC is one of seven categories that the FMCSA uses to determine how a motor carrier ranks compared to other carriers with a similar number of safety events (think inspections, violations, or crashes). 

Is your heading spinning yet?   

Don’t worry. That’s precisely why we’re holding this webinar: To tell you EXACTLY what you need to know about this important BASIC, including steps you can take to maintain a good ranking . . . or improve it.  

What we’ll cover: 

• The ins and outs of the Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASIC 
• How to check your current ranking 
• Violations that adversely affect carriers’ rankings  
• How data is collected 
• Facts about roadside inspections, audits, and state-recorded crash data 
• Violation severity weights and how they impact your score  
• What the top violations are – and how to avoid them  
• BASIC recordkeeping requirements (hint: digital records are a must)
