DOT drug testing

A DOT drug test is a urine test required by federal rules for drivers and other safety-sensitive workers. It is not an instant cup test.

The test has three parts. A qualified collector takes and seals the sample. A certified laboratory tests it. A medical review officer (MRO) reviews the lab result and reports the final result to the employer.

We are not offering DOT collections yet. They start once our collector qualification is complete. Join the waitlist and we will contact you when they open.

Who this is for

• CDL drivers and other workers covered by DOT rules
• Carriers and employers who need pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty or follow-up tests
• Owner-operators in a random testing consortium

What to bring

• A photo ID
• Your employer's name and contact person (the DER)
• The order number or paperwork your employer gave you, if any
• Glasses if you need them to read and sign forms

What happens during the test

You show your ID, wash your hands, and give a urine sample in a private restroom. The collector checks the sample, seals it in front of you, and you sign the form. Most visits take about 20 minutes.

The sample then goes to the lab. Results are not given at the collection site. They go to your employer through the MRO.
