Drop the two self-listings (Performance West C-TPA and supervisor training) and
the National Drug Screening / NDS entries from the Suggested Vendors panels.
The non-endorsement disclaimer (which still names Performance West) is unchanged.
- Add a one-page 'DER Quick-Start Checklist' tear-off as the first content page
(set-up-once / every-hire / ongoing checkboxes, each pointing to the relevant
section or form).
- Add a two-column 'Suggested Vendors & Resources' directory page: C-TPA/
consortium, collection sites & labs, MRO, SAP, supervisor training, and (mode-
aware) FMCSA Clearinghouse or DOT resources, plus employee help lines. Marked
as examples not endorsements; mode-aware.
- Remove forced page breaks between consecutive content sections (now a light
section rule) so they flow continuously; page breaks kept only for the cover,
quick-start, TOC, each form, the vendor page, regulations, and the addendum.
- New builder helpers: section_rule(), checkbox(), two_col_panels().
Adds the real-world know-how a first-time DER needs beyond the bare regs:
- Owner-operators / one-driver companies (must use a consortium; cannot self-test
or self-select) — the most misunderstood case.
- Audits & penalties: what the new-entrant safety audit asks for and the
consequences of no program (civil penalties, failed audit, out-of-service).
- Problem test results: dilute, shy bladder, cancelled test, split-specimen.
- Prescriptions / marijuana / CBD (marijuana prohibited regardless of state law;
CBD trap; route medical questions to the MRO).
- What counts as a refusal (treated as a positive).
- Costs & timeline expectations.
- DER do's and don'ts (act same-day, keep records separate/confidential, never
tip off a random selection, don't interpret results yourself).
Customers (the DER) had no concrete how-to for onboarding/enrolling drivers or
what information to collect. Add:
- Section 1 'Enrolling a driver (new-hire onboarding)' subsection: exact info to
collect, the onboarding sequence (collect info, sign Forms A/B, Clearinghouse
query, prior-employer inquiry, add to C-TPA pool, pre-employment test, wait for
MRO negative), and a driver-removal note.
- Form G — Driver Enrollment & Covered-Employee Roster: per-driver enrollment
block (name, DOB, SSN last4, CDL #/state, contact, hire date, test result,
Clearinghouse/prior-employer status) plus a roster table for the covered pool.
- TOC, email, and handler text updated A-F -> A-G.
- Rewrite dot_da_binder_generator.py to emit an editable .docx (was reportlab PDF)
so carriers/counsel can review and adapt the program. ~4000 words, 10 sections.
- Render all six required forms (A-F); previously only A, D, E existed. Each form
starts on its own page (page break) and fills a page.
- Mode-aware policy text for FMCSA/FRA/PHMSA/FTA/FAA/USCG with correct CFR parts
and random-testing rates; optional single-state Drug-Free Workplace addendum
(federal DOT program is nationwide; only the optional DFWP addendum is state-keyed).
- Handler now outputs .docx instead of .pdf.
- job_server instant-delivery: attach DOCX (correct MIME) as well as PDF, and use
DOT-specific email copy + CTA instead of the FCC/telecom boilerplate.
Turn the DOT Drug & Alcohol Compliance Program into an automated
instant-delivery deliverable: when a carrier orders, we generate a
complete, print-ready PDF binder and email it (no admin step).
The binder (dot_da_binder_generator.py) bundles everything a small
carrier needs under 49 CFR Part 382 + Part 40:
- How to manage the program (DER setup + annual operations)
- Written drug & alcohol testing policy for employees
- The six DOT test scenarios + triggers
- Random testing / consortium (C-TPA) instructions
- Supervisor reasonable-suspicion training + live/online access
- Violations, SAP access, return-to-duty / follow-up
- EAP / rehab / treatment resources (SAMHSA, 988, locator, ODAPC)
- Recordkeeping retention schedule
- Ready-to-use forms (acknowledgment, reasonable-suspicion,
post-accident decision worksheet)
- Regulation citations
- Optional state Drug-Free Workplace addendum
Policy-variant selection: FMCSA (Part 382) is the trucking default;
honors an explicit dot_da_mode override for FRA/PHMSA/FTA/FAA/USCG.
New DrugAlcoholProgramHandler returns the binder PDF; slug added to
INSTANT_DELIVERY_SLUGS so job_server emails it automatically. Slug
rerouted from MCS150UpdateHandler (was admin-assisted enrollment) and
re-priced as a discountable own-deliverable (no passthrough cost).
Tests: scripts/tests/test_dot_da_binder.py (FMCSA sections, PHMSA+state
addendum, all-modes render) — passing.
