“What to Expect During a Mobile Drug Test”

If you’ve never experienced a mobile drug test before, you might be wondering what to expect. Whether you're an employer scheduling testing for your team or an individual being tested, this quick guide will walk you through the process step-by-step. 📅 How Appointments Are Scheduled Mobile drug testing is designed to be fast, flexible, and convenient. Appointments are typically scheduled in advance by employers, but same-day or after-hours testing may be available upon request. Once scheduled, a certified technician will arrive at your location—whether that’s a job site, office, or home—to conduct the testing discreetly and professionally. 🧰 What the Technician Brings Our technicians arrive fully equipped with everything needed for secure, compliant drug testing, including: Collection kits (urine, hair, or saliva) PPE (gloves, masks, sanitizer) Chain of custody forms Tamper-proof specimen containers Secure sample transport containers Coolers or temperature control equipment (as needed) 🪪 ID and Paperwork Needed For each test, a valid photo ID (like a driver's license or passport) is required from the individual being tested. Employers may also need to provide: Authorization or requisition forms Employee roster (for random testing) Any applicable company or DOT compliance paperwork 💧 What the Test Process Is Like Depending on your company’s policy or DOT requirements, different types of samples may be collected: ✅ Urine Testing The most common method. The donor will provide a sample in a private restroom under secure and controlled conditions. ✅ Hair Testing A small sample of hair (typically from the head) is cut close to the scalp. This method detects long-term drug use. ✅ Saliva (Oral Fluid) Testing A swab is placed inside the mouth for a few minutes to collect the sample. This method is quick and non-invasive. Each test usually takes 10 to 15 minutes per person. ⏱️ Turnaround Time for Results Result times depend on the type of test: Instant/Rapid Tests: Results in minutes Lab-Based Tests (Urine or Hair): 24–72 hours DOT Tests: 1–3 business days (includes MRO review) All results are delivered securely and confidentially, with MRO (Medical Review Officer) verification when required. ✅ Final Thoughts Mobile drug testing makes workplace screening easier, faster, and less disruptive. Whether you're testing a single employee or your entire team, knowing what to expect ensures a smooth experience from start to finish. Have questions? Need to schedule testing?
