Global Drug Testing - Australia Trucking Firm Takes Lead and Introduces Random Workplace Substance Abuse Screening


Border Express, an Australian transportation company has taken workplace safety to the next level.

Border Express will host a company education and instruction session in the early summer and then begin random saliva testing shortly after.
