Complete DOT Drug Testing Compliance Services

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is the federal agency which oversees the rules and regulations for organizations that operate in the transportation industries. Whether employers operate in trucking, railroad, marine operations, airlines, or mass transit, they are all subject to the DOT’s regulations.

Regulated employers need to be able to test for the following reasons:

• Pre-Employment

• Post-Accident Testing
• Return-to-Duty
• Follow-Up Testing

InOut Labs also offers Non-DOT Drug Free Workplace programs.

InOut Labs offers DOT-compliant random testing programs/consortia for Owner Operators as well as employers who are not also drivers.

If you are an Owner Operator, you are required by the FMCSA to be enrolled in a consortium random drug testing program. Most smaller DOT-regulated employers are enrolled in a consortium random drug testing program for easy compliance.

Larger DOT-regulated employers are often in a stand-alone, company-only, DOT random testing program.

InOut Labs adheres strictly to DOT compliance standards for all regulated testing. Even though many medical facilities offer drug testing, you are better served by a dedicated C/TPA like In Out Labs.

• Using a driver who has not completed a drug test with a negative test result
• Using a driver who refused a required alcohol or drug test
• Using a driver who has previously tested positive and has not completed the return-to-duty process

Consortium vs. Standalone Random Pool

• A consortium is a random drug testing pool that includes employees from multiple companies. Random selections are made from the pool and as long as the consortium pool meets minimum random testing requirements, then all members of the pool are compliant. Perfect for owner-operators and smaller companies.
• A standalone pool is made up of employees from one employer.
