There are some jobs for which I can understand when it would be very important to ensure the operators of heavy equipment absolutely must be guaranteed to be sober at all times.

Beyond heavy machine operators, this also includes livery drivers, airline pilots, etc.

But those are specialty jobs for which my previous comments are excluded.

Thank you for doing your job well, and soberly

    I'm skeptical that's what we're actually testing for, though. Employment drug tests are just to see if they'll stop doing drugs for a month. We don't expect heavy machine operators to do a field sobriety test at the start of their shift.
