DOT-COMPLIANT · ON-SITE EMPLOYER DRUG TESTING
On-Site Employer Drug Testing in Missoula, Montana
BNSF Missoula Division - Highway 93/I-90 Corridor - Providence St. Patrick Hospital - University of Montana - Missoula International Airport - Garden City Construction
Missoula anchors western Montana as the region's healthcare, education, and commercial hub. BNSF operates a significant maintenance-of-way presence through Missoula, placing rail employees under FRA 49 CFR Part 219 annual random testing obligations. The I-90/Highway 93 intersection makes Missoula County a major commercial trucking stop, driving FMCSA Part 40 CDL demand for motor carriers serving Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies routes. Missoula International Airport employs safety-sensitive ground operations and maintenance personnel under FAA 14 CFR Part 120. The construction sector has expanded significantly with University of Montana campus projects, Providence St. Patrick Hospital expansions, and downtown mixed-use development. Our collectors travel to rail facilities, construction sites, warehouses, healthcare campuses, and employer offices -- your workers stay on the clock.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Missoula-area facility, yard, terminal, or job site. We do not operate a clinic. Review how it works, browse Montana locations, or see all locations we serve.

Cannabis Law and Employer Rights for Missoula Employers
Missoula has historically been one of Montana's most cannabis-permissive communities, but employer rights remain fully intact statewide. Montana Code Ann. Section 16-12-108 allows Missoula employers to maintain and enforce written drug-free workplace policies, test for cannabis, and take adverse action on positive results regardless of recreational legalization. Healthcare employers -- a major Missoula sector -- face additional Joint Commission and CMS compliance considerations that support robust testing programs. Construction contractors working on federally funded University of Montana or hospital projects may also face Drug-Free Workplace Act (41 U.S.C. Section 8101) obligations. FRA and FMCSA regulated employers in Missoula have no discretion: federal rules preempt state cannabis law.

Questions from employers in this region
We are a general contractor on a University of Montana construction project. Are we required to have a drug testing program?
If your University of Montana project receives federal funding, the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 (41 U.S.C. Section 8101) may require your firm to maintain a written drug-free workplace policy. CDL operators on that project site are also subject to DOT FMCSA 49 CFR Part 40 regardless of funding source. We provide on-site collection at your Missoula construction site for both DOT and non-DOT testing, with full chain-of-custody documentation ready for contract compliance review.
Does Montana's recreational cannabis law require us to allow cannabis use among Missoula employees?
No. Montana Code Ann. Section 16-12-108 explicitly preserves employer rights. You are not required to permit, accommodate, or excuse cannabis use. Your written drug-free workplace policy governs, and positive cannabis tests are actionable just like any other positive result. This applies to pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, and post-accident testing.
Can you test at multiple Missoula locations on the same day?
Yes. We schedule multi-site collection routes across Missoula County. Whether you need collections at a construction site in the morning and a trucking terminal in the afternoon, we coordinate the routing. Call (219) 315-0345 or use our quote calculator to set up a multi-location program.
