DOT and non-DOT drug testing. We come to you.

No. That's the whole point of onsite collection. We set up at your location and work through your list where your people already are. A clinic trip usually costs an employee one to three hours once you count drive time and waiting. An onsite collection costs them a few minutes.

DOT testing applies to safety-sensitive employees in federally regulated roles — CDL drivers, for example — and follows federal procedure that can't be modified. Non-DOT testing runs under your own written company policy, so you decide the panel, the reasons you test, and how results are handled. Plenty of employers need both, and we can run both in the same visit.

A 5 panel covers the five most common substance groups — typically marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP. A 10 panel adds more classes such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methadone, propoxyphene, and methaqualone. Which one you use is set by your written policy. If you're not sure what yours calls for, we'll walk through it with you.

In most cases, yes. OSHA has clarified that most workplace drug testing is permitted under its recordkeeping rule — including testing required by state workers' compensation law, testing required by other federal law such as DOT, random testing, and testing done to investigate the root cause of an incident that harmed or could have harmed employees.

The key condition on root-cause testing is that you test everyone whose conduct could have contributed to the incident, not only the person who reported an injury. Testing used to punish someone for reporting an injury is what the rule prohibits. Your written policy should say clearly how you handle it.

For FMCSA-regulated carriers, alcohol testing should happen within 2 hours and no later than 8 hours after a qualifying accident. Drug testing must be done within 32 hours. If you can't complete the test in those windows, you have to stop and document why.

Post-accident testing is required after any fatality, and after an accident involving an injury needing immediate medical attention away from the scene or disabling damage requiring a tow, when the driver is cited for a moving violation. Call us when it happens — that clock doesn't wait.

For FMCSA-regulated employers, the 2026 minimum annual random rates are 50% of average driver positions for drugs and 10% for alcohol. A fleet with 100 drivers in the pool needs at least 50 random drug tests and 10 random alcohol tests across the year. Rates are set annually and other DOT modes can differ, so confirm the current rate for your operation.

Yes. We schedule in timed blocks by department or shift so the business keeps running while collections happen. Groups from 10 to 200+ are routine. Very large or multi-site rosters get scheduled across consecutive days.

Same-week scheduling is available in most cases across Middle Tennessee, and we work around hard deadlines — a start date, a close date, or a post-accident window. Call with your date and we'll tell you straight away whether we can make it.

We do. Every specimen is collected, sealed, and documented under a proper custody and control form by a certified collector. Specimens go to the laboratory, copies go to the Medical Review Officer, and your employer copies go to whoever you designate. You get an organized file, not a pile of loose forms.

Yes, and for multi-site employers that's usually the better setup. One vendor means one process, one paperwork standard, and one person to call instead of coordinating a different clinic in every market. Ask us about a standing agreement with a set rate card.
