Miles & Mandates presented by Punjabi Trucking 360
Miles & Mandates is the podcast for everyone with skin in the game of commercial trucking. Every mile driven happens inside a web of regulations, court rulings, and industry shifts — and the gap between knowing them and ignoring them is the difference between a thriving operation and a costly mistake.
Each week, we break down the laws being enforced, the verdicts being handed down, and the evolving threats on the ground — from FMCSA compliance and landmark Supreme Court decisions to cargo fraud and the economic pressures squeezing carriers from every direction. We translate the legal and regulatory language that runs this industry into plain talk that drivers, fleet owners, brokers, shippers, and anyone moving freight for a living can actually use.
Because out here, the road doesn't stop — and neither do the mandates.

In this episode, we sit down with Rupinder Kaur from Prime Drug Testing to break down the most important aspects of DOT-regulated and non-DOT drug testing for the trucking industry. Rupinder shares her insights on why proper testing is critical for safety, compliance, and protecting carriers from costly violations. We discuss pre-employment screening, random testing pools, post-accident requirements, and how fast, reliable testing helps trucking companies avoid FMCSA penalties. Rupinder also discusses Prime Drug Testing’s streamlined process, mobile testing capabilities, and the growing need for trusted testing partners—especially within the Punjabi trucking community. A practical, informative conversation every carrier, owner-operator, and safety manager should hear.
