DOT drug testing is used by the Department of Transportation. Before the Department of Transportation will hire a driver they will make them take a drug test with DOT standards. These tests are mandatory. Employees are tested for drugs and alcohol.

Special kits are used to collect the urine specimen. These kits need to be in strict fulfillment with DOT regulations. The DOT uses separate collections sites to collect the urine sample and only these sites may be used. When taking a DOT test the employee will not be observed unless it is a directly observed collection.

The DOT uses a Custody and Control form which is issued by the Federal Government. No part of this form can be modified by the collector. Employees for DOT testing are giving a specific time frame to be tested. Sometimes employees fail to appear for a scheduled urine collection. If this happens the observer will write this down on the Custody and Control form. Also, testing for DOT does not include any delays as a regular lab might. When an employee arrives the testing is done immediately. After giving their sample they need to sign the Custody and Control form. They need to provide their name, birth date, the day they gave the sample and some contact information. If the employee refuses to give this information the collector will mention this on the form.

DOT drug testing is one of the hardest tests to pass. We usually tell our customers to try and clean themselves out with our Premium Detox kit. Most customer want to use synthetic urine but the DOT actually checks for synthetics in the urine and usually searches the employees.
