Accredited Drug Testing

Most trucking businesses face costly compliance pitfalls — but many don't realize these risks until it's too late.

Common mistakes include missing random drug testing deadlines, improper recordkeeping, and misunderstanding FMCSA Clearinghouse requirements. These errors can lead to hefty fines, lost contracts, or worse — safety incidents.

For example, a mid-sized fleet recently faced a $50,000 fine because their random testing rates were below the federally mandated minimum. They thought spot checks were enough but didn't track the monthly percentage correctly.

The takeaway? Proactive compliance management is non-negotiable. Use a trusted partner like Accredited Drug Testing to ensure you:

• Meet all DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records
• Enroll in consortia for streamlined reporting
• Stay informed on regulatory changes

Don't let compliance pitfalls threaten your business. Schedule your testing and training today to stay ahead of risks and keep your fleet running safely and legally.

How confident are you that your compliance program is airtight?

Understanding ETG and ETS testing is essential for effective alcohol detection in DOT compliance.

ETG (Ethyl Glucuronide) and ETS (Ethyl Sulfate) are metabolites that remain detectable in the body longer than alcohol itself. This means they can reveal recent alcohol use even when traditional breath or blood tests cannot.

Why does this matter? Because relying solely on breathalyzers or blood tests can miss alcohol use that occurred hours or even days before testing. ETG/ETS tests fill this gap, offering a more accurate window into alcohol consumption.

For CDL drivers and trucking companies, this improves safety by ensuring those who operate vehicles are truly alcohol-free as required by DOT regulations.

At Accredited Drug Testing, we provide reliable ETG/ETS testing as part of our comprehensive alcohol testing services. With over 20,000 nationwide locations and expert guidance, staying compliant has never been easier.

Don't risk your safety or your career. Schedule your ETG/ETS alcohol test today and stay confidently compliant.

Understanding ETG/ETS testing can make all the difference in alcohol detection and compliance.

ETG (Ethyl Glucuronide) and ETS (Ethyl Sulfate) tests detect alcohol use much longer than standard breath or blood tests—up to 80 hours after consumption.

This extended detection window helps employers and DOT-regulated individuals ensure workplace safety and regulatory compliance more effectively.

If you're responsible for compliance or personal testing, knowing when and how these tests work can protect your career and your company.

Need clarity on which alcohol test fits your needs? Our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Stay compliant. Stay safe. Contact Accredited Drug Testing today.
