Kearney occupies a strategic position at the I-80 and US-30 crossroads in central Nebraska, positioned almost exactly halfway between Omaha and Denver on the primary coast-to-coast freight corridor. Long-haul motor carriers, refrigerated van operators, and flatbed haulers regularly use Kearney as a route break point, and distribution and logistics employers have established operations here to serve both coasts from the center of the country. Manufacturing in Buffalo County includes food production, metal fabrication, and light industrial operations. CHI Health Good Samaritan Hospital anchors healthcare employer demand for the central Nebraska region. The University of Nebraska at Kearney adds a contractor and facilities workforce. Kearney's construction sector has grown with I-80 corridor expansion projects. OnSite Employer Testing dispatches mobile collectors to Kearney fleet yards, manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities, and employer sites throughout Buffalo County.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Kearney-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.
Kearney sits at the geographic midpoint of I-80 between Omaha and Denver - one of the busiest long-haul freight corridors in the country - making it a natural hub for DOT fleet testing services and distribution employer compliance.

Applicable Regulations - Kearney, NE
DOT-regulated employers in Kearney are primarily subject to 49 CFR Part 382 (FMCSA - motor carriers on I-80 and US-30) and 49 CFR Part 40. Nebraska has no cannabis law - no state-level accommodation obligations exist for Kearney employers. The I-80 corridor through Kearney connects Nebraska to Colorado, where recreational cannabis is legal; however, Colorado law does not apply to Nebraska workplaces or employers, and employees who cross state lines for cannabis use are still subject to the employer's Nebraska-based policy and any applicable DOT testing obligations. Program design remains the employer's responsibility.

Questions from employers in this region
We are a long-haul carrier based in Kearney running I-80 coast to coast - can you dispatch for random collections at our terminal?
Yes. Provide your terminal address, CDL driver pool size, and preferred window at booking. We confirm routing and collector availability before you finalize the draw. For post-accident dispatches on I-80, call immediately after the scene is safe - we confirm the closest available collector routing to your location.
Our drivers cross into Colorado where cannabis is legal - does that affect our testing program?
No. Your testing program is governed by your company's policy and your DOT obligations under FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382 - both of which apply regardless of which state your driver is in when they consume cannabis. Colorado law does not apply to your Nebraska-based DOT program. A positive THC result is a DOT violation and triggers the return-to-duty process regardless of where the use occurred.
We operate a distribution center in Kearney with both CDL drivers and non-DOT warehouse staff - can you handle both programs in one dispatch?
Yes. Specify at booking which employees are FMCSA-regulated CDL drivers and which are non-DOT warehouse staff. Our collector arrives with the correct chain-of-custody documentation for each program and processes each population separately to maintain program integrity.
