What To Expect During Your DOT Drug and Alcohol Test
Knowing what will happen during a DOT test visit can make the process feel more manageable. When you arrive at our San Leandro facility, you will check in at the front desk and provide a valid form of identification. If your employer has given you paperwork or authorization, you should bring that with you so we can confirm the correct test and billing details.
Our goal is to keep your time in the lobby short, typically just a few minutes before you meet with a collector. Once you are called back, our certified collector will explain the steps of the DOT collection process. For urine drug testing, this includes completing the federal custody and control form, securing your belongings as required, and guiding you to the collection area. For alcohol testing, our staff will explain how the breath or saliva test is performed, along with any waiting periods that may apply between screenings.
Chain of custody is critical in DOT testing, so we follow procedures that are designed to account for the specimen at every step. You will be able to observe parts of the sealing and labeling process, and you will sign documentation that confirms the collection was handled according to the outlined steps. Our facility is set up to protect privacy while still allowing collectors to meet regulatory requirements.
After your visit, specimens are sent to the appropriate laboratory and then reviewed by a medical professional as part of the DOT process. Negative results are often available quickly after this review, while non-negative results may take longer because of confirmation and verification steps. Exact timelines can depend on laboratory workload and the specific circumstances of the test, and we can explain the general pattern for your situation when you check in. Results are reported to the designated party, usually your employer or program administrator, in accordance with DOT and company rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring to my DOT test appointment?
You should bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any paperwork or authorization your employer or program has given you. If your company uses specific forms, bringing those helps us confirm billing and the exact type of test that is required. It is also helpful to have contact information for your employer or program administrator in case questions arise about instructions. If you are paying on your own, be prepared with your chosen form of payment. Our team can answer questions about documents when you call to schedule or before you arrive.
How long will a DOT drug or alcohol test take at your lab?
Most DOT testing visits at our lab are relatively brief, and our goal is to keep lobby wait times under five minutes in typical situations. The entire visit, from check in to completion of the collection, usually fits within a short window, although exact timing can depend on how many people arrive at once and the type of test being performed. Urine collections often move very quickly once you are called back, while some alcohol tests may involve short waiting intervals between screenings. We encourage drivers to arrive a few minutes early so paperwork can be completed without rush. If you are coordinating several employees, we can talk about timing approaches that help limit downtime.
How fast can my employer or I get DOT test results?
DOT testing involves several steps, including laboratory analysis and review by a medical professional, so timing can vary from case to case. Negative results are often available relatively quickly after the lab has processed the specimen and the reviewing professional has confirmed the outcome. Non-negative results typically take longer because they require confirmation testing and additional review. Factors such as laboratory workload, the day of the week the test occurs, and shipping times can all affect how soon results are ready. When you visit, we can explain the usual pattern for your type of test, so you and your employer know what to expect.
Can your team help my company manage a DOT testing program?
Yes, we work with employers to support DOT drug and alcohol testing programs over the long term. Our team can assist in creating or updating your written policy so it reflects current regulations and your internal procedures. We also help coordinate ongoing testing needs, such as arranging pre-employment screens, random selections, reasonable suspicion testing, and post-accident collections. For many companies, having a testing partner handle scheduling and program details helps reduce the workload on internal staff. When you contact us, we can discuss your current program and how we can support your compliance goals.
Do you offer DOT testing for walk-in individuals, not just companies?
We welcome both individuals and company-referred employees for DOT testing. If you are a driver who needs a test for a new job or to meet a specific requirement, you can contact us directly to ask about availability and pricing. In some situations, your future or current employer may provide an authorization form or electronic order, and we will use that to confirm the test type and where results should be sent. If you are paying on your own, we will explain costs before your test so there are no surprises. Our goal is to make the process straightforward, whether you arrive through a company program or on your own.
How do you protect my privacy during DOT testing?
Protecting your privacy is an important part of our process. We collect only the information that is needed for identification, reporting, and compliance, and we handle your records in accordance with applicable rules. Collections take place in private or semi-private areas so you can complete the process without unnecessary exposure. Our collectors are trained to discuss test procedures in a respectful, professional way and to avoid sharing information with anyone who is not authorized to receive it. Results are reported only to the designated employer or program contacts that have been identified for your test.
Do you provide on-site or mobile DOT testing for larger groups?
In many situations, we can arrange on-site or mobile DOT testing for employers that have several drivers or staff who need to be tested at the same time. This can be especially helpful for random selections, new hire classes, or certain post-incident situations when it is practical for our collectors to travel to your location. The availability of mobile collections can depend on the size of the group, the type of tests required, and scheduling. When you reach out to us, we can review your needs and discuss whether on site services or scheduled visits to our facility make the most sense for your operation.
