Such notice will be maintained in the employee's CDL testing file, but may be used by the employer in a current or subsequent proceeding connected with a violation of this policy. Any subsequent violation of the provisions of this policy will result in disciplinary action. Random testing shall take place during normal working hours.

Each CDL driver is required to sign a statement certifying that he or she has received a copy of these materials. Return to duty shall be conditional upon the driver's continued participation in, and full completion of, any prescribed rehabilitation program.
