DOT-COMPLIANT · ON-SITE EMPLOYER DRUG TESTING
Mobile Employer Drug Testing in Waco, Texas
We travel to your fleet yard, manufacturing facility, rail operation, or construction job site and administer federally compliant DOT and Non-DOT collections on-site. No clinic. No downtime.
Waco occupies a strategic position on I-35 midway between Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin — the two largest economic centers in Texas — making it a natural staging point for freight carriers, construction contractors, and manufacturers serving both metro markets. BNSF Railway operates through Waco on its main line connecting Fort Worth to Temple and San Antonio, with FRA-covered employees working the McLennan County corridor. L-3 Technologies (now L3Harris) and Genie Energy have operations in the Waco area. The Waco Regional Airport (ACT) serves business aviation and limited commercial operations. Dr Pepper Bottling Company operates one of its larger bottling and distribution facilities in Waco, operating FMCSA-regulated delivery fleets. Cardone Industries (now a Dorman Products facility) operates remanufacturing and distribution operations. The massive ALDI distribution center and McLane Company's Waco-area distribution operations generate significant FMCSA-regulated CDL fleet activity. Active construction along the I-35 corridor between DFW and Austin — one of the highest-growth highway corridors in the country — creates ongoing construction contractor testing demand in McLennan County.
OnSite Employer Testing coordinates mobile drug testing collections at your Waco fleet yard, distribution facility, or job site. We do not operate a clinic. Review how it works or browse all locations we serve.
Why Waco Employers Need Mobile Testing
Waco's position on the I-35 corridor makes it a high-frequency pre-employment testing market. CDL drivers who are between jobs and traveling the I-35 corridor often seek work at Waco carriers and distribution centers. A pre-employment test that requires a clinic visit in an unfamiliar city creates friction that loses qualified CDL hires. Mobile collection at the employer's facility — on the employer's schedule — removes that friction and keeps the hiring pipeline moving.
McLane Company, headquartered in Temple with major Waco-area distribution operations, operates one of the largest private trucking fleets in the country serving convenience stores, mass merchants, and restaurants. FMCSA pre-employment and random testing for a fleet of that scale — with continuous new-hire volume and multi-shift operations — requires a testing partner that comes to the distribution center, not one that routes drivers to a clinic during a live delivery schedule.
Program design and compliance obligations remain your responsibility under applicable law — we coordinate the collections.
Industries We Serve in Waco
Distribution and Grocery Logistics
McLane Company operates one of the largest food distribution networks in the United States from its Temple/Waco-area facilities, running FMCSA-regulated CDL driver fleets serving convenience, grocery, and foodservice customers. ALDI's Waco-area distribution center adds additional refrigerated and dry-goods CDL fleet demand. Dr Pepper's Waco bottling and distribution operation adds beverage carrier fleet testing needs. We coordinate logistics and transportation and warehousing and distribution collections at distribution center dispatch areas and carrier terminals throughout McLennan County.
Rail — BNSF McLennan County Operations
BNSF Railway operates through McLennan County on its main line between Fort Worth and Temple, carrying merchandise, intermodal, and agricultural traffic through the Central Texas corridor. FRA 49 CFR Part 219 requires covered BNSF employees in the Waco area — engineers, conductors, and maintenance-of-way workers — to participate in random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion programs. We coordinate FRA-compliant DOT drug testing collections at BNSF facilities and crew reporting points in McLennan County.
Manufacturing and Remanufacturing
Dorman Products (formerly Cardone) operates automotive parts remanufacturing and distribution in Waco, employing CDL-driving outbound logistics staff and plant workers subject to FMCSA and Non-DOT testing programs. Additional manufacturing employers in the Waco industrial park network generate ongoing pre-employment and random testing demand. We coordinate collections at manufacturing campuses and distribution dock areas throughout the city.
Construction — I-35 Corridor
The I-35 corridor between Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin is one of the highest-growth infrastructure corridors in the United States, with active road widening, interchange reconstruction, and commercial development projects throughout McLennan County. Construction contractors with CDL equipment operators and heavy-haul truck drivers require FMCSA DOT programs. General contractor Non-DOT programs cover non-CDL craft workers on TxDOT and commercial projects. We coordinate collections at job site trailers and contractor staging yards throughout the Waco I-35 corridor.
Aviation
Waco Regional Airport (ACT) supports business aviation, charter operations, and limited commercial service. FAA 14 CFR Part 120 applies to air carriers and ground service providers with safety-sensitive employees at ACT.

Questions from employers in this region
McLane Company runs continuous new CDL driver hiring at its Waco-area distribution operations. How does mobile pre-employment testing integrate with a high-volume, ongoing hiring program?
We coordinate standing pre-employment collection arrangements with your HR or safety team — you notify us of a new hire, we schedule the collection at your facility at a time that fits orientation and dispatch. There is no need for the new driver to locate a clinic in an unfamiliar city. Contact us to establish a standing arrangement for your distribution center.
We manage a TxDOT road project on I-35 in McLennan County. Are all CDL equipment operators on a TxDOT project required to have DOT drug testing?
CDL operators of commercial motor vehicles with a GVWR above 26,001 pounds operating on public roads in interstate commerce are subject to FMCSA 49 CFR Part 382 regardless of whether the project is a public infrastructure job. Non-CDL construction workers are subject to your company's Non-DOT policy. Program design and compliance obligations remain your responsibility — we coordinate the collections.
BNSF has a crew change point near Waco. Can you coordinate FRA reasonable suspicion testing if a supervisor observes concerning behavior during a crew report?
Yes. FRA reasonable suspicion testing requires a trained supervisor to document specific, contemporaneous observations. Once the determination is made, we coordinate an expedited collection at the crew reporting facility. Contact us at (219) 315-0345 for urgent testing needs.
Dr Pepper's Waco distribution fleet delivers to accounts throughout Central Texas. Can you serve both the Waco facility and a Temple satellite yard?
Yes. Distribution employers with facilities in both Waco and Temple are within our standard Central Texas service range. Each facility's collection is scheduled separately with your DER.
