DOT Drug Test Requirements
Employees within agencies regulated by the Department of Transportation, including the FMCSA, FAA, FTA, FRA, USCG, TLC & PUC, may be required to undergo the following types of compliance drug tests:
Pre-Employment Testing
Prior to being officially hired and commencing safety-sensitive tasks, employees must successfully pass a pre-employment screening program to ensure DOT compliance.
Post-Accident Testing
In the event of a DOT-regulated employee getting in an accident, the individual must undergo and pass a post-accident drug test.
Random Testing
Randomized drug and alcohol tests may be conducted before, during, or immediately after a delivery or drop-off to ensure a safe workplace.
Reasonable Suspicion Testing
If an employer or supervisor suspects that an employee’s performance is being disrupted by drug or alcohol abuse, that employee must submit to a drug or alcohol test.
Return-To-Duty Testing
Required for those who have previously failed and want to return to their employment or duty, often after completing a necessary recovery program.
Follow-Up Testing
A series of unannounced drug and alcohol tests for individuals who have previous DOT substance abuse violations, usually as part of a return-to-duty plan to monitor ongoing sobriety.
Methods of Drug and Alcohol Testing
Laboratory Testing
Drug and alcohol tests are administered through New Era Titans in collaboration with a vast network of DOT-approved testing labs nationwide.
Hair Follicle Testing
Testing that uses a substantial hair sample to detect drug use of up to a 90 day timeline.
Blind Sample Submission
Transportation employers with 2000 or more DOT employees must maintain compliance by submitting blind samples (positive and negative) to verify laboratory accuracy.
Breathe Alcohol Testing
Commonly used to check for current intoxication in employees, especially after accidents or when intoxication is suspected.
Specimen Collection
A crucial step in DOT drug tests, we provide convenient options for sample/specimen collection.
