Built for employers with DOT-regulated roles

PureCheck provides DOT-compliant drug and alcohol testing at its Metairie collection facility, 3350 Ridgelake Drive, Suite 219, for trucking companies, logistics operations, and other employers with federally regulated safety-sensitive positions.

DOT collections follow a federally mandated procedure — including specific forms, chain of custody, and Medical Review Officer review — that is different from a standard non-DOT workplace drug test. Our team can explain the collection process and what your business needs in place before testing begins.

The five DOT test types we collect for

Federal rules require employers to be prepared to test in each of the following circumstances.

Pre-employment, random & post-accident

Collections for new hires entering safety-sensitive duty, unannounced random selections drawn from your testing pool, and tests required after a qualifying accident.

Reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty & follow-up

Testing after a trained supervisor documents specific signs of possible use, and the structured return-to-duty and follow-up testing required after a DOT violation.

What to expect at a DOT collection

A DOT collection follows a consistent, federally documented process.

  1. Confirm the test type

    Share which of the five DOT circumstances applies and your consortium or MRO information.

  2. Verify identity

    The donor presents valid government-issued photo identification before collection.

  3. Witnessed, documented collection

    Specimen collection follows required chain-of-custody procedures using DOT forms.

  4. MRO review & reporting

    Results are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer before being reported to the employer.

Questions before you book

Confirm your test type, documentation, and deadline before collection so your appointment matches the request.

Who is required to take a DOT drug test?

Generally, employees who hold a commercial driver's license and perform safety-sensitive functions, along with certain other transportation roles regulated by federal agencies. Confirm specific role coverage with your compliance advisor.

How is a DOT test different from a regular workplace drug test?

DOT collections follow federally required forms and chain-of-custody procedures, and results are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer before being reported — a standard non-DOT test does not require this process.

Can PureCheck help enroll our drivers in a random testing pool?

We can perform the collections required for your random testing program. Pool administration and selection should align with your company's DOT compliance procedures or third-party administrator.

Do you offer mobile DOT collections for fleets?

Yes, mobile and workplace DOT collections are available by appointment for employers who need to test multiple drivers with less downtime.

What should a driver bring to a DOT collection?

A valid government-issued photo ID is required. Drivers should also bring any instructions provided by their employer or consortium.
