Why are some trucking companies using 10-panel tests instead of 5-panel?
I applied for a driving job this week, and during onboarding, they mentioned their pre-employment screening uses a 10-panel instead of the standard 5-panel. I always hear people talk about.
I never paid much attention to the difference before because every company seems to handle testing differently. It got me wondering how common the larger panels actually are in trucking nowadays.
Is the difference just “testing for more substances,” or are companies moving toward 10-panel setups because of insurance, safety departments, DOT requirements, and post accident policies? thanks
