Accredited Drug Testing provides nationwide drug & alcohol testing designed to help you stay fully compliant with DOT regulations and protect your business, drivers, and operating authority.

With Accredited Drug Testing’s national network and compliance support, maintaining DOT compliance has never been easier.

DOT compliance is not optional, it protects the public, your drivers, and your business. Whether you're an independent CDL driver or a fleet operator, understanding testing requirements is essential for safety and legal protection.

Compliance ensures safety, operational continuity, and regulatory trust. A single missed or incorrect test can result in:

- Suspension or revocation of DOT authority

DOT rules evolve frequently, and failing to stay current can lead to unintentional violations. Common challenges include:
- Complex and evolving requirements (49 CFR Part 40)
