DOT Alcohol Test

Rapid Results DNA + Drug Testing has collectors who are fully trained in DOT-certified procedures and federally-mandated protocols. Our DOT alcohol tests provide accurate results in as little as 1-2 days.

When it comes to federal DOT testing, it's essential for all governmental and private companies under the "safety-sensitive transportation" umbrella to comply with DOT regulations. we provide certified federal DOT testing services for all employers that require their employees to carry a commercial driving license (CDL). 

Our alcohol test looks for Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG), a metabolite of ethyl alcohol, in the urine. Testing for EtG is typically used to determine if a person has recently imbibed alcoholic beverages. 

Unlike alcohol which is normally only detectable in urine for 24 hours or less, ETG can typically be detected for up to 72 hours after alcohol consumption.  Detection times may vary from person to person. 

It is necessary to conduct DOT drug testing for any of the following reasons:

• All applicants that are CMV licensed must be given pre-employment testing
• A driver’s actions may have contributed to or caused an accident
• A driver was involved in any way in an accident that proved fatal
• A supervisor or official has reasonable suspicion of alcohol use
• Follow-up tests after an employee fails a DOT drug and alcohol test
• Return-to-duty testing upon an employee’s return to work after a failed test
• Random, unannounced drug and alcohol testing to ensure DOT compliance

At Rapid Results DNA + Drug Testing we can assist you with your alcohol testing needs, no matter the reason.
