DOT Drug & Alcohol Testing

Comprehensive DOT drug testing is an essential component of every transportation company’s DOT drug and alcohol compliance program. All drivers, or employers of drivers, with a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) are legally required to follow the specific drug testing protocols established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

​

DOT drug testing regulations outline which drugs drivers must be tested for, when and how often testing should take place, which facilities are authorized to conduct DOT-approved drug tests, and the requirements for a trucking company’s Drug-Free Workplace program, among other important guidelines.

What Drugs Can Be Detected in a Urinalysis Test?

At Truegene Medical Testing Services, we offer several different options for urine drug testing, depending on your needs and special requirements.

​

Urinalysis tests are capable of detecting the following drugs and more:

  • Cocaine

  • Opiates

  • PCP

  • Barbiturates

  • Benzodiazepine

  • Methamphetamine

Urine drug tests can detect drugs that have been ingested within the last 2-10 days, making them an ideal option for random drug tests conducted by employers. At Truegene Medical Testing Services, we offer same-day testing in our walk-in clinic, as well as mobile urine drug testing for drug screening in a location of your choice. No matter your needs, you can rely on us for rapid, accurate, certified results and always affordable rates.

Urine Drug Testing

Certified Services. Quick, Confidential Results.

​

One of the most common types of drug tests in the country and the most popular drug test at our TruegeneMedicalTesting® testing locations is the urine drug test. Urine drug testing is a highly accurate way to detect substances in the body. Drugs and illegal substances leave behind unique metabolites that can be detected in urine for a certain period of time. If tested within that time period, urine can provide an accurate representation of drugs that have been recently ingested.

​

At Truegene Medical Testing Services, we are proud to offer quick, confidential 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22-panel urine drug tests in as little as 15 minutes. Our drug screening services are carried out at our certified collection labs. We are able to screen for a wide range of specific drugs and, in most cases, can provide instant results. For positive results, we recommend a lab confirmation, which can take anywhere from 1-3 additional days. Whether you are an employer, parent, or individual, you can rely on us for the fast results you need.

How Does the Urine Drug Testing Process Work?

Regardless of the substances you choose to test for, urinalysis testing is a fast and effective method of testing. Our certified professional collectors will use the utmost care and precision when conducting your test.

 

How the procedure works:

  • The individual being tested provides a urine sample

  • The sample is collected in a tamper-proof setting

  • The urine sample is tested and analyzed in our clean lab

  • The test subject or person who requested the test receives the results

 

Urine drug testing is the only approved method for federally mandated testing. It is also one of the most difficult methods of drug testing to disprove in court, making it a popular choice for legal drug testing. Urinalysis testing effectively identifies substances commonly used to conceal the metabolites left behind by illegal drugs. When these substances are detected, the test is automatically considered adulterated.

DOT-Required Drug Testing

Post - Accident

 

Depending on the nature of the accident and the severity of the injuries, drivers may be required to undergo immediate drug and alcohol testing to assess individual responsibility.

Random Drug Testing

​

To stay DOT compliant, both owner-operators and employees of transportation companies must join a consortium pool and participate in random drug testing throughout the year.

Pre Employment Drug Testing

​

Before operating a vehicle that requires a Commercial Driver’s License, all owner-operators or employees must undergo a pre-employment drug test and receive negative results.

Follow- Up's

​

Drivers who have successfully completed the return-to-duty process, including a negative return-to-duty test, are required to undergo multiple tests throughout the following year.

Reasonable Suspicion for Testing

​

If an employer suspects that an employee may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the workplace, the employee may be required to take a drug or alcohol test.

Return - To - Work

​

​If a driver has previously tested positive for drugs or alcohol, they must first pass a negative "return-to-duty" drug test before resuming their work duties.

What Happens Next After the Test?

It does not matter if your drug test results are positive or negative, Truegene DNA & Drug Testing Solutions prioritizes client confidentiality, ensuring that results are always transmitted through secure channels to maintain discretion.

​

If a test comes back positive, our certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) will reach out to the employee to determine if any medical conditions, such as prescription medication use, could have influenced the results. If no valid medical explanation is found, the employee should be removed from safety-sensitive duties, and management should refer to the TDDTS Drug and Alcohol Policy program for guidance on the next steps.
