Need DOT drug testing for your drivers or covered employees? We come directly to your yard, terminal, or job site across Chicagoland — so your drivers don't miss a run for a clinic visit. We handle all the paperwork, chain of custody, and TPA coordination. Call (219) 315-0345 or request a quote below.
Regulated collections with clean paperwork and realistic field coordination—for DERs, TPAs, and employers that need DOT drug and alcohol testing at terminals, yards, plants, and employer-staged locations.
DOT drug testing is federally regulated workplace testing for safety-sensitive employees under 49 CFR Part 40. Aviation employers operating under FAA certification are required to comply with 14 CFR Part 120 alongside Part 40 — covering pilots, mechanics, dispatchers, flight attendants, and other safety-sensitive employees. OnSite Employer Testing coordinates on-site and mobile DOT collection workflows when timing, location, and collector availability allow.
DOT collections have to be right the first time
DOT testing is not just another workplace screen. It is a regulated collection process tied to safety-sensitive work, specific test reasons, and documentation rules the employer has to live with after the collection is over.
We support employers that need onsite and mobile DOT drug and alcohol collections executed with the right field discipline and a clean handoff to the DER, TPA, and laboratory path already in place.
For who falls under DOT coverage, see who is covered by DOT drug testing. For MRO review after the lab reports, see our MRO role guide.
Who this page is for
This page is for:
DOT-regulated employers
DERs
Fleet safety teams
TPAs and consortia
Employers with mixed DOT and non-DOT populations
Companies that want mobile collections at terminals, yards, plants, and employer-staged locations
Blended sites should keep programs separate—see DOT vs non-DOT drug testing before you mix rosters or forms.
Common DOT testing events
Each test reason carries its own authorization, paperwork, and timing expectations. Collectors execute the order your DER or TPA places.
Pre-employment
- A covered employee must complete the required pre-employment process before performing safety-sensitive work.
Random
- Randoms must be managed through the correct regulated program and pool—not improvised draws from a supervisor's list.
Post-accident
- These events are often urgent and may include both drug and alcohol testing. See [[service:post-accident-drug-testing]] when alcohol windows matter.
Reasonable suspicion
- The employer needs the right documented authority before the collection is ordered. See [[service:reasonable-suspicion-drug-testing]] for field coordination.
Return-to-duty and follow-up
- These events require clean documentation and strict separation from ordinary testing. Confirm test reason and program flags with your DER before dispatch.
Why employers use onsite DOT collections
An onsite model works well when drivers or safety-sensitive employees are tied to:
Terminals
Yards
Dispatch schedules
Line-haul operations
Field sites
Locations where clinic travel creates delay or confusion
The procedure still has to meet DOT standards. The venue changes. The compliance obligation does not. On-site & mobile drug testing keeps donors on employer-controlled property when your program and site access allow.
What the employer needs to confirm
Before the visit, confirm:
Operating administration
Test reason
Whether drug, alcohol, or both are required
Whether observation applies
Site logistics
Who the DER contact is during the event
When alcohol is on the order, include it at intake so BAT equipment and sequencing are planned—see breath alcohol testing.
What we do and what we do not do
We support the collection and documentation process. We do not decide whether an employee is covered, whether the event qualifies, or what legal conclusion the employer should reach after the result is reported.
That division of responsibility is exactly what DOT programs require. Your DER, TPA, and counsel own program authority; collectors execute the authorized collection with Part 40 discipline. Employers who want OnSite to administer the random pool, Clearinghouse queries, and C/TPA paperwork can enroll through DOT Consortium & C/TPA services.
Common DOT questions
Do you support FMCSA only?
No. Support depends on the order and the regulated context provided by the employer—FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, USCG, and other modes when your program authorizes them.
Can you coordinate with our consortium or TPA?
Yes. Share your consortium or TPA routing, forms, and reporting path at intake so collectors arrive with the right paperwork and lab handoff instructions. If you need OnSite to run the consortium or C/TPA program itself, see DOT Consortium & C/TPA services.
Can you support alcohol testing too?
Yes, when alcohol testing is part of the order. See breath alcohol testing for BAT workflows and timing expectations.
