On-site DOT random drug and alcohol testing

How on-site randoms work

Your consortium, TPA or program manager selects the names. We don't. You tell us when and where, and we show up with cups, custody forms and an evidential breath tester. Each selected employee is collected in turn while everyone else keeps working.

We set up in a jobsite trailer, a break room, a shop office or a truck cab. For larger crews we plan the day around shift changes so nobody waits long.

The DOT basics we plan around

• Unannounced. Random tests can't be scheduled in a way employees can predict, and dates should be spread across the year.
• Go now. Once a driver is told, they must head to the test right away. A collector already on site makes that easy.
• Alcohol timing. FMCSA random alcohol tests happen just before, during or just after safety-sensitive work, so we test at the start or end of the day or between runs.
• Minimum rates. FMCSA publishes minimum annual random rates. Your consortium or TPA tracks them. We make it easier to hit them.

DOT and company-policy randoms in one trip

Many crews have DOT-covered drivers and non-DOT workers on the same site. We can collect DOT urine specimens on federal forms, run DOT breath alcohol tests, and do non-DOT rapid screens for the rest of the crew in the same visit. DOT and non-DOT specimens are always kept separate, on separate forms.

Your forms or ours

We collect on your TPA's forms and ship to your lab. If you are a new carrier without a program yet, we can help you set up the lab and MRO side so your first random selection isn't a scramble.
