DOT Drug Testing for Owner-Operators

Whether you own a large trucking company or a single truck, the first step to becoming DOT compliant is enrolling in a drug testing consortium like Truegene DNA & Drug Testing Solutions. Enrollment ensures that you'll be selected for DOT-required random drug testing from the pool of eligible drivers. Our compliance program also notifies owner-operators about when and where they need to take a test, provides the DOT-required written drug and alcohol policy, and maintains accurate records for the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

​

To stay compliant with federal regulations, the DOT mandates periodic testing for all Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders.

Owner-Operator Drug Tests

​

Pre-Employment Testing
Even though owner-operators aren't technically "hired," they must still complete the same pre-employment drug testing as potential employees. Truegene DNA & Drug Testing Solutions helps owner-operators meet this requirement by offering drug testing forms, access to over 15,000 testing laboratories, and quick test result turnarounds.

​

Post-Accident Testing
DOT regulations require any owner-operator involved in an accident resulting in death or a moving violation citation to submit to drug and alcohol testing. After an accident, every Truegene DNA & Drug Testing Solutions client receives detailed instructions on DOT protocols for breath alcohol and urinalysis testing.

​

Random Selection Testing
To remain compliant, both employees of transportation companies and owner-operators must be randomly selected from the consortium pool for drug testing. Enrolling in Truegene DNA & Drug Testing Solutions’ program guarantees that drivers are chosen using DOT-approved, scientifically valid methods and are immediately notified when selected for testing.
