DOT drug testing for regulated roles.
DOT drug testing is the federally mandated urine screen under 49 CFR Part 40: SAMHSA lab, chain of custody, GC/MS confirmation, MRO review, and the federal panel (amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opioids, PCP, plus listed metabolites). 3rd Degree publishes a DOT urine price; National Crime Search lists the same panel against Part 40 and the modal administrations (FMCSA, FRA, FTA, and the rest).
Also called DOT 5-panel, 49 CFR Part 40, DOT urine drug screen.

What it covers
Federally mandated Part 40 urine screens, including MRO and chain of custody- Modal rules on top of Part 40 for FMCSA, FRA, FTA, and other administrations
Clearinghouse, PSP, CDLIS, DOT physical, and this test are one set — order them as one. vID binds the driver; a DOT-capable partner runs the program.
What it covers
- Federally mandated Part 40 urine screens, including MRO and chain of custody
- Modal rules on top of Part 40 for FMCSA, FRA, FTA, and other administrations
What it doesn’t cover
Accept workplace panels, instant cups, or hair tests as substitutes — extra, never instead- Exist without an enrolled employer or consortium process
- Cover alcohol — that is a DOT breath-alcohol test with a BAT
Where the data comes from.
SAMHSA-certified labs under Part 40
Qualified collectors, SAMHSA-certified labs, and MROs; the network has them, random clinics do not.
Why identity comes first.
Part 40 already cares who provides the specimen. vID keeps that identity continuous with the rest of the hiring file.
How the network fulfills it.
JDP’s DOT-compliant solutions, DataFacts / eScreen-style relationships, and 3rd Degree’s DOT urine and BAT are the TPA layer. vID routes to them rather than becoming a TPA.
This is the wrong search if…
Non-DOT drivers, warehouse staff, office roles
Use workplace testing, if you test at all. DOT forms on non-DOT people are their own kind of mistake.
