DOT-COMPLIANT · ON-SITE EMPLOYER DRUG TESTING
Pikeville, Kentucky Mobile Drug & Alcohol Testing
Coal Mining · MSHA Part 40 · Eastern Kentucky Energy · CDL Fleets — Remote-capable mobile collections dispatched to your site.
Pikeville is the commercial and healthcare hub of Eastern Kentucky's coal country — Pike County has historically been one of the most productive coal-producing counties in the United States. Surface and underground mining operations are subject to MSHA 30 CFR Part 40, which requires comprehensive substance abuse programs for mine operators. The rugged Appalachian terrain means clinic access is often 30–60+ miles away — making mobile, on-site collection the only practical option for maintaining compliance without pulling miners off-shift for hours. CDL heavy-haul coal transport and energy sector fleets operate under FMCSA. OnSite Employer Testing dispatches collectors directly to mine sites, preparation plants, and equipment yards throughout Pike County and surrounding communities.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Pikeville-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.
