DOT-COMPLIANT · ON-SITE EMPLOYER DRUG TESTING
Mobile Employer Drug Testing in Austin, Texas
We travel to your facility — Tesla Giga Texas, fleet yard, construction site, or distribution center — and administer federally compliant DOT and Non-DOT collections on-site. No clinic. No lost production time.
Austin has become one of the most industrially active cities in the United States, anchored by Tesla's Gigafactory Texas — the company's global headquarters and primary Cybertruck, Model Y, and humanoid robot manufacturing campus on Harold Green Road in east Austin. Giga Texas is one of the largest manufacturing buildings by footprint in the world, employing thousands of production workers and supporting a continuous inbound supply chain of CDL-operated battery cell, stamped steel, and component deliveries alongside a high-volume outbound vehicle transport operation. SpaceX's Starship development and testing operations in South Texas are managed from Austin, and the broader Austin metro hosts a growing advanced manufacturing corridor. Samsung's Taylor, Texas semiconductor fab — under active construction 30 miles northeast of Austin — has generated massive construction contractor testing demand across the metro since breaking ground. ABIA (Austin-Bergstrom International Airport) is a Southwest, American, and Delta hub with significant cargo operations under FAA 14 CFR Part 120. Union Pacific operates through the Austin corridor. Oncor Electric Delivery and Atmos Energy both serve the Austin metro with infrastructure subject to PHMSA oversight. The I-35 corridor south of Austin to San Antonio — one of the highest-growth freight lanes in Texas — adds FMCSA carrier fleet demand to the market.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Austin-area facility, manufacturing campus, or job site. We do not operate a clinic. Review how it works or browse all locations we serve across Texas.
Why Austin Employers Need Mobile Testing
Tesla Giga Texas operates on a production schedule that does not accommodate two-hour clinic detours for safety-sensitive employees. Inbound CDL drivers delivering battery cells and stampings run just-in-time delivery windows tied to the production line sequence — a pre-employment test that routes a new delivery driver to a clinic in southeast Austin costs a missed delivery window and a production line gap. Mobile collection at the Giga Texas inbound logistics gate, the carrier terminal, or the contractor yard is the only model that fits the operational tempo of a world-scale automotive manufacturing campus.
Samsung's Taylor fab construction project — one of the largest semiconductor manufacturing investments in U.S. history at over $17 billion — has employed thousands of construction craft workers simultaneously. General contractors and specialty subcontractors on that project maintain Non-DOT company-policy testing programs as a condition of Samsung's site access requirements. CDL crane and heavy equipment operators require FMCSA DOT programs in parallel. The scale and duration of the Taylor project means the Austin metro's construction contractor testing demand has been elevated for years and will remain so through the fab's operational ramp-up.
Program design and compliance obligations remain your responsibility under applicable law — we coordinate the collections.
Industries We Serve in Austin
Tesla Giga Texas — Manufacturing and Supply Chain Logistics
Tesla's Gigafactory Texas on Harold Green Road in east Austin is the company's global headquarters and its primary North American manufacturing campus, producing Cybertruck, Model Y, and next-generation vehicle platforms alongside early-stage Optimus humanoid robot production. The facility's inbound supply chain — battery cells from Panasonic and CATL, stamped steel from steel service centers, and component deliveries from hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers — is managed by FMCSA-regulated CDL carriers operating on tight just-in-time delivery schedules. Outbound vehicle transport via auto-haul carriers adds additional FMCSA fleet testing demand. The Giga Texas construction and expansion workforce — the facility has undergone continuous expansion since opening — requires Non-DOT company-policy pre-access testing as a condition of site entry. We coordinate both DOT drug testing and Non-DOT workplace drug testing for Tesla supplier carriers, logistics contractors, and construction firms operating at and around the Giga Texas campus.
Samsung Taylor Fab — Construction and Semiconductor Logistics
Samsung Semiconductor's Taylor, Texas fab is a $17+ billion semiconductor manufacturing investment located 30 miles northeast of Austin in Williamson County. The construction project — one of the largest active manufacturing construction projects in the United States — employs thousands of craft workers from general contractors including Turner Construction, specialty subcontractors, and trade unions. Non-DOT company-policy testing programs required by Samsung as a condition of site access, combined with FMCSA programs for CDL crane and heavy equipment operators, create large and sustained construction contractor testing demand throughout the Austin–Taylor corridor. We coordinate collections at contractor yards, job site trailers, and staging facilities serving the Taylor fab project.
Aviation — Austin-Bergstrom International Airport
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is one of the fastest-growing airports in the United States, with Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, and United all operating significant capacity alongside cargo carriers including FedEx and UPS. FAA 14 CFR Part 120 applies to air carriers, cargo operators, and ground service providers with safety-sensitive employees at AUS. The airport's expansion — including a new South Terminal and ongoing concourse development — adds construction contractor testing demand to the aviation employer base. We coordinate FAA-compliant aviation and airline employer collections at the airport and at employer facilities in the AUS business corridor.
Rail — Union Pacific Austin Corridor
Union Pacific operates freight rail service through the Austin corridor connecting San Antonio, Dallas, and the Texas interior. FRA 49 CFR Part 219 requires covered railroad employees at UP's Austin-area operations to participate in random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion programs. We coordinate FRA-compliant DOT drug testing collections at rail facilities and crew reporting points in the Austin metro.
Energy, Utility, and Construction — I-35 Corridor
Oncor Electric Delivery and Atmos Energy serve the Austin metro with electric transmission and natural gas distribution infrastructure whose field employees are subject to PHMSA 49 CFR Part 199 pipeline safety requirements. Austin Energy, the city-owned electric utility, operates generation and distribution facilities in Travis County. The I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio — one of the most active freight and construction corridors in Texas — generates continuous FMCSA and Non-DOT testing demand from logistics and transportation carriers, warehousing and distribution employers, and road construction contractors. We coordinate collections at utility depots, distribution facilities, and job site staging areas throughout the greater Austin metro.

Questions from employers in this region
Tesla Giga Texas requires inbound supplier carriers to deliver within tight just-in-time windows. Can you coordinate pre-employment testing for a new CDL driver who needs to make his first Giga Texas delivery tomorrow morning?
Yes. Same-day and next-morning pre-employment collections at carrier terminals serving Giga Texas are a core use case for mobile testing. FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382 requires a verified negative result before the driver's first safety-sensitive function. We complete the collection at your terminal; the driver is cleared to deliver once the MRO verifies the result. Contact us at (219) 315-0345 to establish a standing arrangement for your Tesla supply chain operation.
Samsung's Taylor fab requires all construction workers to have a drug test on file before receiving a site badge. Is that a DOT requirement or a Non-DOT host employer requirement?
Samsung's pre-access testing requirement is a Non-DOT host employer access control standard — it is not a DOT modal agency regulatory requirement. It operates separately from and in addition to any FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382 program your CDL crane or heavy equipment operators require. The panel, procedure, and recency requirement are set by Samsung's contractor management program. Program design and compliance obligations remain your responsibility under applicable law — we coordinate the collections using the panel and procedure your program or Samsung's access requirement specifies.
Tesla Giga Texas is in east Austin and its outbound auto-haul carriers load at the facility. Can you coordinate random testing for auto-haul CDL drivers at the Giga Texas pickup yard?
Yes. FMCSA random selections can be coordinated at the employer's on-site location — including a pickup yard or dispatch area at Giga Texas or at the carrier's Austin terminal. Drivers are tested at the facility where they report; they do not leave the campus for a clinic.
Atmos Energy has gas distribution field crews across the Austin metro. Can you reach crews at multiple staging depots in Travis, Williamson, and Hays Counties?
Yes. PHMSA-regulated utility employers with crews at multiple depots across a large metro area are a standard use case. We coordinate collections at each depot or staging location you designate. You provide facility addresses and expected donor counts; we confirm logistics for each site.
