Does CEVA Logistics Drug Test?

Drug Testing by Position

Drug Test Type and Process

CEVA Logistics generally uses a standard urine drug test administered at a third-party occupational-health clinic after a conditional job offer. The typical screen is a 5-panel test covering marijuana (THC), cocaine, opiates, amphetamines/methamphetamines, and PCP; some sites use expanded panels. For CDL truck drivers, CEVA must follow the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and FMCSA testing program, which specifies the substances tested and the collection procedures — these results are also reported to the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse. Applicants usually receive instructions to visit the clinic within a set window after accepting the offer. Warehouse candidates operating forklifts or heavy equipment are screened because the roles are safety-sensitive. The exact process can vary by facility and by the client contract that facility supports.

Marijuana Policy

Marijuana is included in CEVA's testing, and this is strictest for drivers. Under federal DOT/FMCSA rules, any CDL driver who tests positive for THC is prohibited from operating a commercial vehicle — even in states where marijuana is legal for medical or recreational use, and regardless of the 2026 federal move of some marijuana products to Schedule III, which did not change DOT testing obligations. For non-driving warehouse roles, THC is typically part of the pre-employment panel, though enforcement can vary by site and state law. CEVA maintains a drug-free workplace, so being impaired on the job is prohibited for all employees. If you use marijuana, expect it to be screened, and never apply for a DOT driving position while THC could still be detectable.

Tips for Applicants

Assume you will be tested and plan accordingly. Once you accept a conditional offer, you'll usually have a short window to complete the drug screen — schedule it promptly so it doesn't delay your start date. Bring a government-issued photo ID to the clinic. For CDL driver roles, be ready for a full DOT process, including a Clearinghouse query and, in many cases, a DOT physical. If you have a past record, note that CEVA hires for many entry-level warehouse jobs and evaluates background checks case by case; a conviction does not automatically disqualify you. Be honest on your application about anything a background check will surface. If you're in recovery, DOT return-to-duty and follow-up testing procedures exist specifically to help drivers get back to work safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CEVA Logistics drug test for employment?

Yes. CEVA Logistics commonly makes job offers contingent on passing a pre-employment drug test and background check. Truck driver, warehouse, and equipment-operator roles are the most likely to be screened.

Does CEVA Logistics drug test for weed?

Yes, marijuana (THC) is included in CEVA's drug screens. For CDL drivers this is federally required under DOT rules, and a positive THC result disqualifies a driver even in states where cannabis is legal. Warehouse roles are typically screened for THC as well.

What kind of drug test does CEVA Logistics use?

CEVA generally uses a standard urine test at a third-party clinic — usually a 5-panel screen. CDL drivers are tested under the DOT-specified panel and collection procedures.

Does CEVA drug test warehouse workers?

In most cases, yes. Warehouse associates, material handlers, and forklift operators are typically drug tested before hire because the work is safety-sensitive, though requirements can vary by facility and client contract.

Does CEVA do random drug testing?

Yes for CDL drivers, who are subject to DOT random testing throughout employment. Non-driving employees are generally tested only after an accident or on reasonable suspicion, not randomly.

Do CDL drivers at CEVA get drug tested?

Yes. CDL drivers must complete DOT/FMCSA pre-employment testing plus random, post-accident, and reasonable-suspicion testing, with results tracked in the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse.
