Common Testing Reasons
Employers use goMDnow to support practical drug and alcohol testing workflows across the employee
lifecycle. Testing reason, panel type, and DOT/non-DOT status should match your company policy and
regulatory requirements.
Pre-employment testingScreen candidates before start date
or assignment.
Random testingSupport ongoing safety-sensitive workforce
programs.
Post-accident testingDocument testing after eligible
workplace or vehicle incidents.
Reasonable suspicionSupport supervisor-directed testing
when impairment concerns arise.
Consortium Membership for Discounted Testing Rates
Companies outside transportation can still join goMDnow as a consortium member to receive discounted
member pricing on commonly ordered drug and alcohol tests. Membership is especially helpful for
employers that order pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, or periodic testing
throughout the year.
Important: Joining as a member for discounted testing rates is different from being
placed in a DOT random testing pool. DOT random pool enrollment is used when applicable for
DOT-regulated employers and CDL drivers. Non-DOT employers can use membership for lower testing rates
without needing DOT random pool enrollment unless a regulated program applies.

Why Construction Companies Need Drug Testing
Construction employers face safety, liability, insurance, and project-owner requirements. A structured
drug testing program can help reduce workplace risk, support jobsite safety policies, and document
employer action after accidents or reasonable suspicion events.
Drug testing may be required by company policy, general contractor rules, owner-controlled insurance
programs, safety manuals, union or project requirements, or DOT rules if the employee operates regulated
vehicles.
- New hire screening before jobsite assignment
- Random testing programs for safety-sensitive workers
- Post-accident testing after jobsite incidents
- Reasonable suspicion testing when impairment concerns arise
- Return-to-work or fitness-for-duty support
Construction Testing Options
goMDnow can support both DOT and non-DOT drug testing needs for construction companies. Many construction
employers use non-DOT testing for general workforce screening and DOT testing for CDL drivers or
regulated vehicle operators.
- Urine drug testing
- Hair drug testing for longer detection windows
- Breath alcohol testing
- Observed collections when required by policy
- Pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion tests
- Nationwide collection site scheduling and ordering
Who This Page Is For
This service is designed for general contractors, subcontractors, staffing firms supplying construction
labor, equipment operators, road construction companies, utility contractors, and construction employers
with multi-state workforces.
Program Design for Contractors
A strong construction testing program should clearly state who is covered, which test reasons apply, when
testing is required, how results are handled, what consent is needed, and what happens after a positive
or refusal. goMDnow can help employers order testing consistently while keeping the process simple for
supervisors and workers.
DOT vs Non-DOT Construction Testing
Not every construction drug test is a DOT test. DOT testing generally applies when a worker is performing
DOT-regulated safety-sensitive duties, such as operating a commercial motor vehicle that requires a CDL.
Non-DOT testing is employer-policy based and is commonly used for general construction employees.
