FMCSA-Registered Provider | 49 CFR Part 40 Compliant Collections

Georgia Compliance Partners provides DOT-compliant urine drug testing and breath alcohol testing performed in strict accordance with 49 CFR Part 40 regulations.
As a registered drug and alcohol testing program provider, we ensure that every collection meets federal standards for accuracy, chain-of-custody integrity, and audit readiness.
We act as a neutral third-party collection partner—not working for you or against your employees, but to maintain the integrity of your testing program.
GCP brings DOT-compliant collections directly to your location:
✔ On-Site Testing: We come to your office, terminal, or job site
✔ Reduced Downtime: No travel time for employees
✔ After-Hours Availability: We work around your operation schedule
✔ Emergency Response: Fast deployment for post-accident testing
✔ Multi-Location Service: Coordinated testing across your Georgia locations
If you operate commercial vehicles, employ CDL drivers, or work in any DOT-regulated industry, DOT testing is not optional—it's required by federal law.
GCP provides all six federally mandated DOT drug and alcohol test types:
1. Pre-Employment Testing
When: Before an employee performs their first safety-sensitive duty
Purpose: Verify the employee is drug-free before beginning work
Requirements: Must receive negative drug test result before performing safety-sensitive duties
2. Random Testing
When: Unannounced, unpredictable selections throughout the year
Purpose: Deter drug and alcohol use among safety-sensitive employees
Requirements: Employers must test 50% of driver pool for drugs annually, 10% for alcohol
GCP Assistance: We help coordinate random selection pools and ensure compliant testing frequencies
3. Post-Accident Testing
When: After qualifying accidents involving commercial vehicles
Purpose: Determine if drugs or alcohol were contributing factors
Requirements: Must be conducted as soon as practicable following the accident
Testing Triggers:
Fatality
Citation issued + injury requiring immediate medical treatment away from scene
Citation issued + vehicle towed from scene
GCP Emergency Response: Fast deployment for urgent post-accident collections
4. Reasonable Suspicion Testing
When: When trained supervisor observes behavior indicating possible drug or alcohol use
Purpose: Identify and remove impaired employees from safety-sensitive duties
Requirements: Supervisor must document specific observations of appearance, behavior, speech, or body odor
GCP Support: We provide reasonable suspicion documentation templates and supervisor training resources
5. Return-to-Duty Testing
When: After an employee violates DOT drug and alcohol regulations, before returning to safety-sensitive work
Purpose: Verify employee is drug/alcohol-free before resuming duties
Requirements: Must complete SAP evaluation and receive SAP recommendation before testing
6. Follow-Up Testing
When: Unannounced testing after return-to-duty, for 1-5 years as determined by SAP
Purpose: Monitor ongoing compliance after a violation
Requirements: Minimum 6 tests in first 12 months; SAP determines total number and frequency
Don't risk DIY background checks.
All DOT drug tests screen for the following five substance classes:
✔ Marijuana (THC)
✔ Cocaine
✔ Opiates (codeine, morphine, heroin)
✔ Phencyclidine (PCP)
✔ Amphetamines / Methamphetamines

Breath alcohol testing measures blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
DOT regulations prohibit:
✔ Performing safety-sensitive duties with BAC of 0.04% or greater
✔ Consuming alcohol within 4 hours of performing safety-sensitive duties
✔ Consuming alcohol while on duty
GCP uses USDOT-approved Evidential Breath Testing (EBT) devices and certified Breath Alcohol Technicians (BAT) for all alcohol testing.
