Questions from employers in this region
Does Minnesota law require anything beyond federal DOT testing for our Minneapolis workforce?
Minnesota's Drug and Alcohol Testing in the Workplace Act (DATWA), Minn. Stat. §§ 181.950–181.957, imposes specific notice, confirmation testing, and employee rights requirements for employer-mandated testing beyond what federal DOT rules require. We coordinate collections that align with both federal DOT procedures and Minnesota state-law requirements — though program design and legal compliance remain your responsibility.
Can you test at BNSF Northtown Yard without disrupting switching operations?
Yes. We coordinate with your BNSF or CP terminal contact to stage collections in crew rooms or designated on-site locations at Northtown, Shoreham, and Humboldt yards — meeting FRA Part 219 chain-of-custody requirements without pulling crews off active assignments.
How quickly can you reach MSP Airport for an FAA post-incident test?
We target on-site arrival within 2 hours for post-accident or reasonable-suspicion collections at MSP-based air cargo and ground operations employers. Call (219) 315-0345 immediately for emergency dispatch — FAA and FRA post-incident testing carry mandatory time windows that cannot be missed.
