I’m guessing they can do this because they’re big enough to push back on insurance requirements.

The drug testing requirement for delivery drivers isn’t necessarily a moral imperative from management. It’s a condition of their insurance requirements. The article touches on this:

Or perhaps they are underwriting their own insurance. Once companies get big enough, it makes more sense for them to hold onto the premiums themselves and just pay an insurance company to administer the paperwork.
