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.

We’re Proud of Our Five-Star Reviews and Customer Satisfaction

When clients have a positive experience, they want to share it with the world, and that’s fine by us. Here’s what everyone is saying about their PROCOM experience.
you cannot afford to guess when your child’s health is at stake
“I would highly recommend this service to any parent wanting to know if their child is doing drugs. It isn’t enough to think your child is doing drugs; it isn’t enough for your child to admit they are doing drugs. You need to know what type of drug and how much they are consuming. This helps guide treatment and counseling. Without accurate test results, you are just guessing, and you cannot afford to guess when your child’s health is at stake.”

PROCOM is there for us in an emergency
“There have been many times when my expectations have been exceeded. Notably, when I needed to have an individual tested pre-employment after hours, the staff at MCC were very accommodating. This is not a usual occurrence and I would not ask for special dispensation ordinarily, but it is very good to know that PROCOM is there for us in an emergency. The greatest compliment I have for them is that I do not worry at all about any testing that I send to their collection site. To all of the PROCOM employees, past and present, thank you for your excellent service.”

PROCOM is there for us in an emergency
“PROCOM absolutely meets my expectations as they are high. You’ll never work with them and not receive excellent customer service. What I appreciate even more is that I have only ever heard good feedback from employees we sent to PROCOM as well. They make it quick and easy for them to get in and out of the office for their random screen to get on with their busy work schedule in a safer, more compliant work environment.”

Answers to Your FAQs About Non-DOT Drug Testing

We’re Always Here to Help Educate and Guide Clients

These are some of the most common questions about how non-DOT drug testing works that you need to read.

DOT drug testing is governed by federal regulations under 49 CFR Part 40 and requires a standardized 5-panel urine test, a SAMHSA-certified laboratory, and mandatory testing for cannabis and alcohol. Non-DOT drug testing is governed by state law and employer policy. Non-DOT employers can choose any substances to test for, any collection method, any panel configuration, and set their own consequences for a positive result.

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.

Yes. We partner with employers to design non-DOT drug and alcohol screening programs aligned with your specific industry, budget, and goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch or revising an existing policy, PROCOM offers:

  • Consortium/TPA management

  • State-compliant protocols

  • Training and implementation support

We ensure your testing program is both practical and compliant.

No. SAMHSA-certified laboratories are required for DOT drug testing but are not federally mandated for non-DOT programs. However, PROCOM uses SAMHSA-certified laboratories for all testing, both DOT and non-DOT, because they represent the industry gold standard for accuracy and defensibility. Using a certified laboratory for non-DOT testing provides maximum legal protection if results are ever challenged.

Yes. Non-DOT employers have complete flexibility in selecting which substances to include in their drug testing panel. PROCOM offers hundreds of panel configurations and can build a fully custom panel based on the substances of concern in your specific industry or workforce. Employers can also remove substances from standard panels, such as removing THC in states where marijuana is legal.

Yes. Colorado employers retain the right to enforce drug-free workplace policies that include marijuana, even though recreational marijuana is legal in the state. Non-DOT employers can include or exclude THC from their testing panel based on their workplace policy. Some employers choose to remove THC from their panel, while others maintain it as a tested substance. PROCOM can help you build a panel and policy that reflects your position.

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.
