DOT Urine + Breath Alcohol (BAT) Combo Test
This DOT Combo Test includes both the federally mandated 5-panel urine drug screen and the observed Breath Alcohol Test (BAT) required under 49 CFR Part 40. Designed for CDL holders and employees in safety-sensitive roles, this all-in-one solution ensures compliance with both drug and alcohol testing protocols in one streamlined process.
Our combo test is ideal for pre-employment, post-accident, random, and return-to-duty situations. Tests are administered using DOT-certified collection and testing procedures, with results verified by a Medical Review Officer (MRO) and documented in compliance with DOT and FMCSA regulations.
How It Works
- 5-panel urine test and BAT performed during the same visit.
- Certified labs and BAT technicians ensure DOT protocol compliance.
- MRO reviews drug results; BAT results provided immediately on-site.
When to Use It
- Pre-employment screening for CDL or DOT-covered positions.
- Post-accident or reasonable suspicion events requiring dual testing.
- Return-to-duty and follow-up programs for regulated employees.
TAT & Fees
- Drug test: 1–3 business days; Alcohol test: instant onsite results.

Why It Matters
DOT-regulated employers are required to test for both drugs and alcohol under federal law. Combining these two tests into one coordinated visit saves time, reduces scheduling friction, and ensures full compliance across your screening program. This combo test also helps maintain a safe, responsible workplace while reducing legal and operational risk.
Use-Cases
- Transportation firms screening after on-the-job incidents.
- Pipeline and hazardous materials carriers under PHMSA rules.
- Return-to-duty testing for employees re-entering safety-sensitive roles.
