What type of DOT Testing is required?
Coastal Drug Testing provides DOT pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion and return to duty testing at our Volens VA DOT drug testing centers.
If you hold a CDL license, a large, medium or a small trucking company, Coastal Drug Testing has a complete DOT compliance package which includes all the requirements to comply with CFR 49 part 40.
All Coastal Drug Testing DOT drug testing centers utilize SAMHSA Certified laboratories and a licensed Medical Review Officer as required by DOT part 40 regulations.
The U.S Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that all DOT regulated "safety sensitive" employees have a negative DOT pre-employment drug test result on file and be actively enrolled in a DOT approved random drug and alcohol random testing pool (consortium).
In addition, if a DOT regulated company has more than one "safety sensitive" employee, the employer must also have a written DOT drug and alcohol policy along with an on-site supervisor that must have completed a reasonable suspicion supervisor training program.

Are You Enrolled in a DOT Consortium?
Individuals who are employed in a position designated as "safety sensitive" must be actively enrolled in a random drug and alcohol testing program. Oftentimes, covered employees will join a group of other DOT regulated employees in a random testing program and this is referred to as a DOT Consortium. Generally, an employer who has less than fifty employees or single operators will join the consortium which will comply with the random drug and alcohol testing requirements of 49 CFR Part 40. Employers that have over 50 employees who are regulated by Part 40 may elect to be enrolled in a "stand alone" random testing pool.
The DOT consortium is cost effective and complies with all requirements of 49 CFR Part 40 which mandates that all "safety sensitive" employees be enrolled in a random drug and alcohol testing program.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has strict regulations requiring regulated companies and independent operators (CDL License Holders) to be an active member of a DOT drug and alcohol Consortium and failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant fines and other DOT sanctions.
We are fully versed in the DOT procedures for pre-employment drug testing, random drug testing, reasonable suspicion drug testing, post-accident drug testing, return to duty drug testing and follow up drug testing.
DOT regulated companies with multiple safety sensitive employees must also have an employee within the company who is assigned as the "designated employer representative" (DER). This is the person responsible for removing any DOT "safety sensitive" employee who is covered by 49 CFR Part 40 from performing a DOT safety sensitive position when a positive drug or alcohol test result has occurred or an employee has refused to take a required DOT test.
If you have recently become a DOT regulated company, within the next 18 months the Department of Transportation (DOT) will conduct a "new entrant" inspection to ensure that you are in compliance with all DOT regulations including the drug and alcohol testing requirements. If you are currently a DOT regulated company, you are subject to regular inspections to ensure compliance.
Avoid DOT fines, penalties and be complaint with all DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations! Coastal Drug Testing can assist small, medium and large DOT companies in complying with all requirements of 49 CFR Part 40.

Local Area Info: List of former primary state highways in Virginia (Lynchburg District)
State Route 126 was a westerly alternate to US 501 between Volens and Gladys, following present SR 603 from Volens to SR 40 at Cody and SR 761 (mostly the old Pittsylvania and Lynchburg Turnpike[citation needed]) from the Roanoke River south of Long Island to Gladys. The road from Cody to Long Island was never a primary state highway.
Most of the distance from Volens to Cody became State Route 303 in 1928, with the remaining 1 mile (1.6 km) at the Cody end joining it in 1929. 5.8 miles (9.3 km) of the northern segment were added in 1932 as State Route 323. Both routes became SR 126 in the 1933 renumbering, and in October 1933 the northern segment was extended south to the Roanoke River. The southern segment from Volens to Cody and most of the northern segment from the Roanoke River to SR 699 were downgraded to secondary in 1943, the former becoming an extension of existing SR 603, and the remaining 1.8 miles (2.9 km) from SR 699 to Volens followed in 1944.
State Route 126 extended west from US 460 (now US 460 Business) in southwestern Lynchburg along Graves Mill Road (SR 1425 outside Lynchburg) to US 221 at Clay (east of Forest). It was mostly added to the state highway system in 1930 as part of State Route 319, with the westernmost 1 mile (1.6 km) completing the route in 1932. SR 319 became SR 128 in the 1933 renumbering, but that route was split in 1948, with the central piece along Fort Avenue renumbered SR 297 and the western piece becoming new SR 126. An easterly extension along the new Lynchburg Expressway to US 29 (now US 29 Business) was added in August 1964, but two months later it instead became SR 297, with SR 126 replacing SR 297 from their intersection northeast on Fort Avenue to U.S. Route 29 Alternate (now US 29 Business), which had been part of SR 128 until 1948. This extension was renumbered again in 1976, becoming part of U.S. Route 460 Business, which it remains to this day. The portion of SR 126 within Lynchburg city limits became an ordinary city street in 1977, and the short stub in Bedford County was downgraded to secondary in 1979.
