DOT-COMPLIANT · ON-SITE EMPLOYER DRUG TESTING
Mobile Employer Drug Testing in Kokomo, Indiana
We travel to your facility — manufacturing plant, fleet yard, battery production site, or industrial park — and administer federally compliant DOT and Non-DOT collections on-site. No clinic. No downtime.
Kokomo is Indiana's powertrain capital and is undergoing a significant industrial transformation. Stellantis operates multiple Kokomo plants producing transmissions and other drivetrain components, generating substantial inbound supply chain and outbound finished-parts trucking traffic. StarPlus Energy is constructing a large-scale battery manufacturing complex in north Kokomo adjacent to the existing Stellantis facility footprint — creating a new class of logistics and chemical-handling employer alongside the legacy auto supplier base. BorgWarner and Haynes International add additional manufacturing and specialty-alloy production to the industrial mix. Kokomo Municipal Airport, which serves Chrysler, GM, Delphi, Haynes International, and other major employers, operates a 6,001-foot primary runway with corporate aviation demand driven by the manufacturing cluster. NIPSCO's gas utility territory runs through Howard County. For employers managing both legacy internal-combustion supply chains and new EV battery logistics, mobile testing eliminates the operational disruption of routing safety-sensitive workers off-site for DOT or Non-DOT collections.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Kokomo-area facility, manufacturing plant, or fleet yard. We do not operate a clinic. Review how it works or browse all locations we serve.
Why Kokomo Employers Need Mobile Testing
Kokomo's manufacturing economy runs on tight production schedules. Stellantis transmission plants operate in shifts that begin before most clinics open. Inbound CDL drivers delivering components and outbound drivers hauling finished transmissions and EV battery modules arrive and depart on fixed schedules that cannot accommodate a two-hour clinic excursion. For pre-employment testing at a plant hiring 200 new production workers in a ramp-up phase, mobile collection at the HR facility is the only way to process volume without creating a backlog.
StarPlus Energy's battery manufacturing operations add a new dimension: workers handling lithium-ion battery materials and chemical precursors work in controlled environments where absences for clinic visits create staffing gaps on production lines with strict safety protocols. Non-DOT company-policy testing programs for battery plant employees — combined with FMCSA DOT programs for CDL supply chain drivers — require a testing partner that comes to the facility, not one that routes workers across town.
Program design and compliance obligations remain your responsibility under applicable law — we coordinate the collections.
Industries We Serve in Kokomo
Automotive and Powertrain Manufacturing
Stellantis operates Kokomo Transmission Plant and other facilities in Howard County, producing transmissions and drivetrain components for Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler vehicles. The plants' CDL-heavy inbound raw material and outbound finished-component logistics fleets require FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382 testing programs. Non-DOT company-policy programs cover production workers, maintenance technicians, and yard hostlers not operating CDL vehicles in interstate commerce. BorgWarner's Kokomo operations and Haynes International's specialty alloy manufacturing add additional manufacturing employer demand. We coordinate both DOT and Non-DOT workplace drug testing at plant facilities throughout the Kokomo area.
EV Battery Manufacturing and Logistics
StarPlus Energy is constructing a large-scale battery manufacturing complex in north Kokomo, representing one of Indiana's largest new industrial investments. Battery manufacturing operations involve chemical precursors and controlled production environments where workforce compliance programs — including pre-employment and random drug testing — are standard safety practice. Inbound logistics for battery-grade materials and outbound shipment of finished battery modules will generate significant CDL fleet and FMCSA-regulated carrier demand. We coordinate pre-employment and random drug testing program support for both the battery plant workforce and the carrier fleets serving the facility.
Corporate Aviation
Kokomo Municipal Airport serves Stellantis, GM, Delphi, Haynes International, and Indiana University Kokomo with a 6,001-foot primary runway and corporate aviation capabilities. Fixed-base operators, charter carriers, and corporate flight departments with safety-sensitive employees at the airport are subject to FAA 14 CFR Part 120 anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention requirements. We coordinate FAA-compliant aviation and airline employer collections at the airport and at employer-designated facilities.
Supply Chain Trucking
Regional trucking carriers serving Kokomo's automotive and battery supply chains operate from U.S. 31 and SR 931 corridors. FMCSA-regulated carriers delivering components to Stellantis and StarPlus plants run pre-employment and random programs with high hiring volumes during plant ramp-up phases. We coordinate logistics and transportation collections at carrier terminals and fleet yards throughout Howard County.
Pipeline and Utility
NIPSCO serves Howard County with natural gas and electric utility infrastructure. PHMSA 49 CFR Part 199 applies to NIPSCO field technicians and pipeline workers in the Kokomo service area. Energy and utilities contractors supporting the new industrial development in north Kokomo are also within our service scope for both DOT and Non-DOT collections.

Questions from employers in this region
StarPlus Energy is ramping up hiring for the Kokomo battery plant. Can you handle high-volume pre-employment testing for 200+ new hires?
Yes. High-volume pre-employment collections during plant ramp-up phases are a standard use case for mobile testing. We coordinate collections at your HR facility or on-site designated area, processing multiple donors per visit to match your hiring schedule. Reach us at (219) 315-0345 to discuss volume, timeline, and logistics.
Stellantis Kokomo plants have CDL drivers for yard hostler operations. Are yard hostlers subject to FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382?
Yard hostlers operating exclusively on private property and not driving on public roads are generally not subject to FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382 because they do not operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce on public highways. However, drivers who move vehicles on public roads — even briefly — may trigger FMCSA coverage depending on the vehicle's GVWR and the nature of the movement. Program design and compliance obligations remain your responsibility under applicable law — we coordinate the collections.
Haynes International operates specialty alloy manufacturing in Kokomo. What Non-DOT testing program is typical for a plant of this type?
Non-DOT company-policy programs for specialty manufacturing plants typically include pre-employment screening, annual or random testing, post-accident testing, and reasonable suspicion testing. Panel selection, cutoff levels, and MRO review are all employer-defined under Non-DOT policy. Program design and compliance obligations remain your responsibility under applicable law — we coordinate the collections using the panel and procedure your policy specifies.
Can you serve both the legacy Stellantis supply chain carriers and the new StarPlus battery logistics carriers operating in Kokomo?
Yes. We coordinate collections for all FMCSA-regulated carriers serving the Kokomo industrial corridor, regardless of whether their loads are legacy powertrain components or new EV battery modules. Both types of operations require standard FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382 programs for CDL drivers.
