Northern Territory Police have alleged they caught a man driving a truck with a cocktail of six different drugs in his system.

Acting Superintendent Craig Garland of the Palmerston and Road Policing Division said the 43-year-old tested positive for cocaine, benzodiazepine, opiates, THC, amphetamines, and methamphetamines.

He said police did a random drug test on the man about 11:45am Tuesday while he was driving a heavy vehicle on the Victoria Highway.

Supt Garland said he was issued with a traffic infringement notice and also suspended from driving for a 24-hour period. It did not say if he received any other penalties.
