We have 23+ years of DOT drug testing experience and partner with Abbott Laboratories to offer DOT compliant drug tests and random consortium pools. Together with Quest Diagnostics,  MedTox, Concentra, LabCorp, and the Abbott Network, we provide over 12,000 collection sites nationwide.

DOT Drug testing for Transportation and Trucking Industries

DOT Testing Compliance

The Department of Transportation (DOT) mandates drug testing compliance in the transportation and trucking industries. These requirements make HireSafe DOT drug testing different from other drug tests and are based on the DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations §49 CFR Part 40. This statute outlines the reporting requirements and the responsibilities of everyone involved, including:

  1. The responsibilities of the employer.
  2. The Medical Review Officer (MRO) – Licensed physician in charge of laboratory results.
  3. Consortium/Third-Party Administrators (C/TPAs) – Manage employers drug testing.
  4. The designated employee representative (DER) – The individual selected to manage the drug tests on the employer side. The DER communicates with the C/TPA and handles any safety concerns, such as removing drivers from the field.

Only 3% of TPA's are certified by the Drug & Alcohol Testing Industry Association.
Our partner Abbott Laboratories is one of them.
