How Non-DOT Drug Testing Works for Employers and Individuals
Unlike DOT-regulated testing, a non DOT drug test refers to any drug or alcohol screening not governed by federal Department of Transportation rules. These programs are often used by private employers, utility companies, government contractors, and businesses in industries like construction, manufacturing, and energy.
A non DOT drug screen allows you to set your own drug-free workplace policies while remaining compliant with state or local laws. Whether you need to test for marijuana, opioids, or expanded panels, PROCOM helps ensure your program is consistent, legally sound, and tailored to your workforce.

Answers to Your FAQs About Non-DOT Drug Testing
We’re Always Here to Help Educate and Guide Clients
How is non-DOT drug testing used?
Non-DOT drug tests are used when an employer wants to create and enforce their own substance use policies outside of federal mandates. Employers commonly use non-DOT drug screening for:
- Pre-employment drug testing – Screening applicants before hire, often just once before onboarding.
- Random drug testing – Regular testing performed without prior notice using randomized selection systems, either managed internally or through a Third-Party Administrator (TPA).
Non-DOT screening programs can be tailored by industry, job function, or company culture, offering more flexibility than federally regulated options.
What kinds of drug tests do you use for non-DOT substance screening?
PROCOM offers multiple drug testing methods tailored to your organization’s needs:
Urine tests – The most common type of non-DOT drug test. Easy to administer, though it may carry a risk of tampering.
Saliva tests – Quick and minimally invasive, these tests detect recent drug use in a 24–48 hour window.
Hair follicle tests – Highly accurate and tamper-resistant. Detects long-term drug use going back up to 90 days.
Breathalyzer – Primarily used for alcohol screening. Fast results, often used for post-incident or reasonable suspicion cases.
Each method has different detection windows and uses. We’ll help you decide which non-DOT drug screen best fits your goals.

What happens if you fail a non-DOT drug test?
If an employee fails a non-DOT drug test, it’s up to the employer to determine next steps based on their internal policy. Since these tests are not federally regulated, the consequences vary—but may include:
Retesting or confirmation testing
Disciplinary action
Termination or referral to a treatment program
PROCOM can help you craft a clearly defined follow-up process as part of your non-DOT screening program to protect your workplace and employees.
