10-Panel DOT-Like Drug Test
The 10-Panel DOT-Like Drug Test is ideal for employers who want the rigor of DOT procedures without the restrictions of the DOT’s 5-panel limit. This test uses the same chain-of-custody, lab-based collection, and certified MRO review process—but screens for a broader set of substances, including both prescription opioids and synthetic drugs.
It’s a smart choice for companies hiring into safety-sensitive or federally adjacent roles that require enhanced due diligence, even if the position isn’t officially DOT-regulated. The result: expanded insight and defensibility with the reliability of DOT-style protocol.
How It Works
- Lab-based urine collection using DOT-compliant protocols.
- Tests for 10 substances including opioids, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines.
- All results reviewed and confirmed by a certified MRO.
When to Use It
- For employers who want a DOT-style test but need broader detection.
- When hiring safety-sensitive roles not covered by federal mandates.
- As part of a zero-tolerance or expanded compliance policy.
TAT & Fees
- Turnaround time: 1–3 business days.
- Includes MRO review and chain-of-custody tracking.
- Volume discounts available for bulk employer accounts.
Why It Matters
Many roles fall just outside DOT or FMCSA requirements—but still carry high stakes for safety, liability, and public trust. This 10-panel DOT-like test fills that gap by offering DOT-grade protections with a wider lens on substance abuse risk. It helps HR teams identify patterns that standard panels miss and provides greater confidence in hiring decisions.
Use-Cases
- Private fleet operators screening drivers not subject to DOT.
- Utilities or energy companies hiring non-CDL safety-sensitive workers.
- Municipalities or contractors who mirror DOT policy internally.
