Start a Drug Screening Business | DOT-Compliant Training

Why Drug Screening Is One of the Best Service Businesses to Start

Every DOT-regulated employer in the United States is legally 

required to drug test their workforce. That includes over 

12 million CDL truck drivers, airline employees, transit 

workers, railroad employees, and pipeline workers — all 

governed by 49 CFR Part 40. Add non-DOT employers, 

pre-employment screening, post-accident testing, random 

programs, and return-to-duty testing, and the market for 

qualified collectors are enormous.

Mobile drug screening collectors set their own schedules, 

work from any location, and serve multiple clients with 

minimal startup costs. As your business grows, you add 

services — oral fluid collection, breath alcohol testing, 

DNA collection — and increase revenue per client without 

adding significant overhead.

This is a recurring revenue business. Employers test their 

employees repeatedly throughout the year. Once you have 

a client, you keep them.
