Whether you operate a large trucking company or a single truck, the first step to DOT compliance is enrolling in a drug testing consortium like Polk Medical Testing Solutions. Our program ensures you're selected for DOT-required random testing, notifies owner-operators about testing locations and schedules, provides a DOT-compliant drug and alcohol policy, and maintains accurate reports for the DOT and FMCSA.
To stay compliant with federal regulations, the DOT mandates periodic drug testing for all Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders.
Although owner-operators are not technically employees, they are still required to undergo the same pre-employment drug testing as potential employees. Polk Medical Testing Solutions facilitates this process by providing the necessary drug testing forms, access to over 10,000 certified testing facilities, and quick test result turnaround times.
DOT regulations mandate that any owner-operator involved in an accident resulting in a fatality or moving violation citation must undergo drug and alcohol testing. Following such an incident, every PMTS client receives clear instructions on DOT protocols for breath alcohol and urinalysis testing.
To ensure compliance, both transportation company employees and owner-operators must be randomly selected from the consortium pool for drug testing. Enrollment in PMTS’ program guarantees that drivers are chosen using DOT-approved, scientifically validated methods and are promptly notified upon selection.
America's Medical Choice Testing Solutions offers expert guidance and services to help clients maintain full compliance with DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements, including those for owner-operator transportation companies.
