Current DOT Policy:

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has strict rules that prohibit marijuana use for employees in safety-sensitive positions. The NMT position is considered a safety-sensitive position. Marijuana is still classified as a Schedule I drug under federal law. Even if a state has legalized medical or recreational cannabis, DOT regulations still require THC testing under 49 CFR Part 40. This means that state legalization of medical or recreational cannabis does not exempt employees from DOT drug testing or disciplinary action.

Schedule:

• Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. - 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. (split shift).   Hours may vary.
