  • Follow-up testing schedule management (minimum 6 tests, 12 months)

Who Needs a DOT Program

If Your Employees Drive
Commercially, You're Regulated.

Many small employers don't realize they're subject to DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements until they receive a violation notice or fail an audit. Don't wait.

🚛
Trucking & Freight Companies
Any employer with CDL holders operating vehicles over 26,001 lbs GVWR, or vehicles carrying hazmat or 16+ passengers — FMCSA Part 382 applies.
🏗️
Construction Companies
Construction employers with CDL-licensed equipment operators driving on public roads — concrete mixers, dump trucks, flatbeds — are often subject to FMCSA regulation.
🚌
Transportation & Charter
School bus operators, charter services, limousine companies, and passenger van operators with vehicles carrying 16+ passengers fall under DOT oversight.
Energy & Pipeline
Employers operating or maintaining natural gas, liquid, or hazardous materials pipelines are regulated by PHMSA — often overlooked by small operators.
🏭
Manufacturing & Distribution
Warehouse and distribution employers with CDL drivers for outbound delivery or over-the-road transport need a compliant FMCSA program in place.
👷
Staffing Agencies
Staffing agencies placing CDL drivers with client companies may be the employer of record for DOT purposes — and therefore responsible for maintaining the testing program.

What's at Stake

The Cost of Non-Compliance

DOT drug and alcohol testing violations carry serious financial and operational consequences. A compliant program costs a fraction of what a single violation can cost your business.

FMCSA · Per Violation
Up to $16,000
Civil penalty per violation for failure to comply with FMCSA drug and alcohol testing requirements under 49 CFR Part 382.
Operating Without a Program
Out-of-Service
Drivers found operating without a compliant testing program can be placed out-of-service immediately — stopping operations until corrected.
Failed DOT Audit
Conditional Rating
A failed DOT safety audit results in a conditional or unsatisfactory safety rating — damaging your ability to win contracts and maintain insurance coverage.
