Dodge City sits on US-283 and US-56 in Ford County, positioned in the heart of the southwest Kansas cattle country. The city hosts two of the largest beef processing facilities in North America - Cargill Meat Solutions and National Beef Packing - which together process several million head of cattle annually and employ thousands of production workers running around-the-clock shifts. Feedlot operations throughout Ford and surrounding counties supply these plants with cattle, and the cattle and grain freight on US-283, US-56, and US-400 is among the heaviest agricultural freight traffic in Kansas. The workforce demands for pre-employment screening at these processing plants are among the highest per-capita of any city in the state. Dodge City Regional Hospital anchors healthcare employer demand in Ford County. OnSite Employer Testing dispatches mobile collectors to Dodge City processing plants, feedlot facilities, fleet yards, and employer sites throughout Ford County.

Questions from employers in this region
We manage a large beef processing plant in Dodge City with three shifts - can you handle high-volume pre-employment collections as we continuously onboard new production workers?
Yes. For ongoing high-volume pre-employment collections, contact us to establish your program cadence and facility logistics. We coordinate a collection schedule that fits your continuous onboarding flow. Advance setup ensures our collector arrives prepared for your specific throughput needs.
We haul cattle on US-283 and US-56 with CDL semi-trucks - what DOT testing program covers our drivers?
CDL drivers operating qualifying CMVs in livestock transport are subject to FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382. Pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing are all required. We dispatch to your Ford County yard or feedlot loading facility for those collections.
Kansas is zero-tolerance for cannabis - does that make managing our processing plant workforce drug policy simpler?
Yes. No state-law cannabis card defenses, no medical marijuana accommodations, and no recreational-use employment protections exist in Kansas. Your written zero-tolerance policy can be enforced consistently without state cannabis law complications. For large processing plant workforces with high turnover and continuous onboarding, a clean legal environment is a practical operational advantage. Policy enforcement decisions are the employer's responsibility.
