Questions from employers in this region
Can you test drayage drivers at the Port of Oakland without pulling them from the terminal queue?
Yes. We stage collections at terminal gates, driver lounges, or designated areas within Oakland's marine terminals — minimizing turn time while meeting FMCSA Part 382 chain-of-custody documentation requirements.
Does PG&E have specific requirements for PHMSA collections at Bay Area pipeline facilities?
We coordinate with your PG&E facility EH&S contact to follow site-specific access and collection protocols. All collections meet 49 CFR Part 199 PHMSA standards with proper chain-of-custody and lab routing for federally-certified laboratories.
How quickly can you reach Oakland's port or rail facilities for a post-accident test?
We target on-site arrival within 2 hours for post-accident or reasonable-suspicion collections at Port of Oakland terminals and BNSF/UP rail yards. Call (219) 315-0345 immediately for emergency dispatch.
