Definition of Random Test. A random test is a test that is unannounced, and where every person in the random selection “pool” has an equal chance of being selected for testing each time a selection occurs.

Random testing is considered to be an effective deterrent to substance abuse. Covered drivers are required to be randomly tested under DOT regulations. Method of Random Selection: LCRD has contracted with an outside drug testing management service (see Appendix D) to perform computerized random selections on its covered employees as part of a Vehicle Operators' Consortium. Selections occur such that testing days are spread reasonably throughout each year. A number of drug tests equal to at least 50% of the number of individuals in the Consortium will be completed annually, as required by DOT drug testing regulations; a number of alcohol tests equal to at least 25% of the number of individuals in the Consortium will be completed annually.
