Trucking & DOT Drug Testing

Trucking is the most heavily regulated testing environment there is. CDL drivers fall under FMCSA and 49 CFR Part 40, which mandates specific panels, random-testing rates, MRO review, and Clearinghouse reporting. LabX keeps your fleet compliant and your drivers on the road.

Why trucking must test

Federal law requires pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable-suspicion, and return-to-duty testing for anyone in a CDL safety-sensitive role. Miss the random rate or the Clearinghouse steps and you face fines and out-of-service orders.

The right program for a fleet

Use the DOT 5-panel with full chain of custody and MRO review. Enroll drivers in a compliant random program and keep post-accident kits on every truck. Read DOT vs non-DOT testing.

How LabX serves fleets

Order kits in bulk, register each driver against a barcode, and get MRO-verified results to your portal. Non-driver staff can run a broader 14-panel.
