Employer Guide to DOT and Non-DOT Drug Testing Rules
At AZC, we offer both DOT and non-DOT drug testing services to help you stay compliant and maintain a safe, productive workplace. Here’s what you need to know about DOT vs. non-DOT employees:
DOT-regulated employees include CDL drivers, public transit workers, and utility operators—anyone under FMCSA, FAA, FTA, PHMSA, or FRA oversight. These employees must undergo pre-employment, random, post-accident, return-to-duty, and follow-up drug and alcohol testing.
Non-DOT-regulated employees like warehouse staff or delivery drivers using non-commercial vehicles aren’t federally required to test. While not legally mandated, many Georgia employers choose to test drivers proactively to support safety policies and reduce insurance risks.

Legal & Regulatory Guidelines for DOT Testing in Georgia
Georgia companies operating commercial vehicles across state lines must comply with 49 CFR Parts 40 and 382. These federal regulations require drug and alcohol testing for all safety-sensitive employees:
- Testing must be conducted through certified labs
- Results must be reviewed by a licensed Medical Review Officer (MRO)
- Documentation must be retained for audit readiness
When you join AZC’s DOT consortium in Georgia, we ensure you meet every federal requirement to help you avoid compliance violations.
