2. Pool establishment: Employees meeting DOT safety-sensitive definitions are enrolled using compliant, confidential systems.
3. Random selection: Names are chosen via scientifically valid, unpredictable procedures at the frequency appropriate for your agency (FMCSA, FAA, etc.), including any additional requirements in Allegheny County.
4. Notification & testing: Selected employees are discreetly notified, and testing is conducted promptly—either on-site throughout Pittsburgh or at our lab. We strictly adhere to chain-of-custody and privacy standards.
5. Results & compliance support: Certified results are provided rapidly. We offer documentation and reporting guidance during audits or on request, meeting all DOT and Pennsylvania retention rules.

We understand that Pittsburgh’s active commercial driving sector and robust transit system operate around the clock. That’s why our DOT random drug and alcohol testing process is designed to adapt to late-night routes, weekend shifts, and even pop-up field locations along local highways or river ports. If your organization has additional needs—such as bilingual notifications, urgent result requests, or compliance meetings—our team can customize each step. Because requirements vary by local government contracts and industry regulations, we ensure your records are audit-ready every time. Open communication, straightforward procedures, and reliability are what make our process the choice for Pittsburgh area employers aiming for seamless DOT compliance.
