Keep DOT testing separate and on track.
A DOT program has its own rules. We help employers map the handoff from policy and training to collection, laboratory work, medical review, and authorized reporting.
Where employers need support
Testing logistics
Coordinate the right order and collection for pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, or follow-up events.
Discuss testing →Supervisor readiness
Train the people who recognize and document reasonable suspicion, and give them a clear escalation path.
Explore training →The employer remains responsible.
Under DOT Part 40, an employer may use service agents, but remains responsible for compliance. A service agent cannot act as the designated employer representative (DER).
Before the first collection
- Confirm the DOT agency and covered employee roles.
- Confirm the test reason, method, collector instructions, and MRO path.
- Set the employer contact and reporting route.
This page describes coordination. It does not decide whether an employee is covered or clear anyone for safety-sensitive duties.
DOT questions
Is every workplace drug test a DOT test?
No. DOT testing applies to covered safety-sensitive work under the relevant federal transportation rules. Keep DOT and non-DOT procedures separate.
Can LTS be my DER?
No. The employer designates its DER; a service agent cannot take that role under DOT Part 40.
Who confirms the collection method?
The employer or its authorized program contact must specify the applicable test reason and collection information. Follow the current DOT and agency requirements.
