You must first complete the process with the Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). If you are an owner-operator (1 person, 1 truck); National Drug Screening can help you with this process; call 866-843-4545. Review below for options:
- Only companies can set up and manage DOT testing. Other then an owner operator or unemployed driver, the employer should be ordering all DOT testing.
- You will need to apply with companies and then the company can set up the return to duty and follow-up testing program; see below for faster option for unemployed.
- Individuals cannot order their own DOT tests unless owner operator or unemployed and then call 866-843-4545
- As to a negative test to report to the clearinghouse, this is ordered by an employer and the negative result is reported by the employer (or TPA for Owner Operator) to the clearinghouse. The only other negative test reported to the clearinghouse will be the final Follow-up test which is also reported by the employer.
If you are an owner operator or unemployed driver, National Drug Screening can assist with the return to duty process.
Follow up testing can only be managed by an employer or for an owner operator the Consortium/Third Party Administrator (C/TPA).
Call 866-843-4545 for further assistance.
