The DOT pre-employment test is a urine drug test. It is $73, paid before the order goes to the clinic. A prior employer’s old result is not your pre-employment test.
Staffing a non-driving job? Use a non-DOT panel. Do not buy a DOT test to look thorough.
Clearinghouse full query, before the person starts, is a separate employer duty. We explain it. We do not charge a query until that service is actually live, and we do not buy FMCSA credits.

Tests and add-ons are extra. Membership is the pool, the company file, and the certificate — not unlimited collections.
How it moves
01
Is the job safety-sensitive under FMCSA?
If yes, DOT urine. If no, non-DOT.
02
Pay, then schedule
No specimen is ordered on a promise to pay later.
03
Negative before duty
The driver does not perform the safety-sensitive function while the result is open.
04
Query, separately
A full Clearinghouse query is the employer’s, with consent. It is not included in the $73.
Questions
Is a pre-employment alcohol test required?+
FMCSA does not require one. Drug testing before safety-sensitive duty is required. You may add alcohol if your policy says so.
Can the previous consortium’s random count?+
No. Pre-employment is a new test for the new employer.
What if they were just tested last week for someone else?+
Still yours to order, unless a specific exception in 382.301 actually applies. Read the section before you skip it. We will not skip it for you on a hunch.
