Questions from employers in this region
How does FMCSA testing work for drayage carriers operating through Calexico East?
Commercial vehicle operators crossing the US-Mexico border at Calexico East or West must comply with FMCSA Part 382 drug and alcohol testing as US-regulated CDL employers. We provide on-site collections at drayage yards and staging areas near the crossing — keeping carriers compliant without long detours from the POE.
Imperial Valley winter vegetable harvest creates a huge seasonal CDL hiring surge. Can you accommodate?
Yes. We mobilize on-site at Imperial Valley packing houses, produce shipper yards, and staging areas during the winter vegetable season (November–March) to handle large pre-employment CDL testing batches efficiently.
El Centro is remote — is there a clinic alternative you use, or do you always come on-site?
For Imperial County employers, we recommend on-site mobile testing as the primary solution — the nearest major testing clinic network is over an hour away. Our mobile collector comes to your facility, eliminating the time and compliance risk of sending CDL drivers off-site.
