Federal DOT Compliance Services
Companies that fall under the Department of Transportation’s rule, 49 CFR Part 40, are subject to strict and often confusing regulations. Most companies need a partner who can help them navigate these complex regulations, ensure they remain compliant with federal standards, and allow them to focus on their business.
Transmetron has been an expert in DOT and federally mandated testing for many years. Let us help you navigate the regulations that apply to your business so you can focus on maintaining DOT compliance.
Federally Mandated Drug & Alcohol Testing
As a DOT-regulated organization, you must comply with specific federal requirements that vary by transportation mode. One of the most critical elements of a DOT program is a comprehensive drug and alcohol testing program. The Part 40 rule mandates that all safety-sensitive employers conduct proper drug and alcohol testing, including pre-employment, random, for-cause, and post-accident tests.
At Transmetron, our certified collectors are trained in federal DOT regulations and protocols to ensure accurate and reliable testing, helping you maintain compliance every time your employees visit our facility.
Consortium
Companies under DOT regulations are required to comply with federal requirements for random testing. Transmetron offers two randomization programs based on the size and specific needs of your business:
For larger companies with many employees under DOT regulations, a stand-alone pool may be sufficient to ensure the appropriate frequency of testing.
For smaller companies, a national consortium pool is the best option. A consortium ensures your employees are part of a random drug testing pool while providing the advantages of a larger pool size, such as reducing the frequency of testing for smaller companies. Contact Transmetron to determine which consortium option is right for your business.
Onsite & After Hours
While not always required by DOT regulations, on-site and after-hours testing can enhance safety and convenience for employers. Transmetron offers 24/7 drug testing through our hotline at 801-599-9040. Our certified collectors can come directly to your facility, saving you time and reducing downtime, while ensuring compliance with federal guidelines. Whether it’s random, for-cause, or post-accident testing, we strictly adhere to proper random selection, chain-of-custody protocols, and accurate collection procedures for both urine drug tests and breath alcohol tests, giving you peace of mind when you need it most.
Program Management
The biggest challenges most DOT-regulated companies face are understanding the regulations of DOT rule 49 CFR Part 40 and ensuring compliance with all of them. You need a partner who can help you manage your program, so both you and your employees remain in compliance.
