DOT-COMPLIANT · ON-SITE EMPLOYER DRUG TESTING
Bellingham, Washington Mobile Drug & Alcohol Testing
Cherry Point Refinery Complex · Canada Border CDL · BLI Airport FAA · BNSF FRA · Whatcom County — Mobile collections at the northern gateway.
Bellingham is the northernmost major commercial city on the U.S. West Coast — gateway to Canada and home to the Cherry Point Refinery Complex, one of the largest refinery concentrations in the Pacific Northwest (Phillips 66, BP/Herfy, and Tesoro/Marathon facilities). PHMSA 49 CFR Part 199 obligations are substantial here. Bellingham International Airport (BLI) serves growing commercial aviation. The Peace Arch and Pacific Highway border crossings generate enormous CDL cross-border activity. BNSF's main line through Bellingham is a critical Pacific Coast freight artery. OnSite Employer Testing covers all of Whatcom County.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Bellingham-area facility, yard, terminal, or job site. We do not operate a clinic. Review how it works or browse all locations we serve across the region.
