Missing post-accident testing can compromise insurance claims and trigger federal violations. 24/7 collector dispatch helps you meet the 8-hour alcohol and 32-hour drug testing deadlines.
Failing to conduct post-accident testing within DOT timelines (8 hours alcohol, 32 hours drugs) destroys your insurance defense and creates significant legal liability. When an accident occurs at 2 AM, you need immediate collector dispatch—not a phone tree.
DSC provides 24/7 collector dispatch for post-accident testing. Our emergency hotline immediately determines if testing is required, dispatches the nearest collector, documents every attempt to demonstrate "as soon as practicable" compliance, and prepares complete incident logs for insurance claims and compliance reviews. Testing is $85 for mobile collection plus emergency dispatch fees ($50 daytime, $100 after-hours).
Compliance specialists provide real-time guidance on whether testing is required and what steps to take next.
24/7 coverage with documented dispatch times so you meet DOT post-accident testing deadlines anywhere in the country.
Incident logs, chain-of-custody records, and refusal documentation packaged for insurance claims and FMCSA review.
49 CFR §382.303 requires post-accident testing as soon as practicable:
Post-accident testing is required when an accident involves: (1) a fatality, (2) bodily injury with immediate medical treatment away from scene, or (3) a vehicle towed from the scene and the driver receives a citation within 8 hours.
DSC dispatches collectors within two hours in most locations. Rural or remote areas may require additional travel time, but every dispatch attempt is documented to demonstrate compliance with DOT timelines.
If testing cannot be completed within the 8-hour (alcohol) or 32-hour (drug) windows, DOT requires a written explanation. DSC prepares the required documentation, logs all dispatch attempts, and stores records for audit defense.
FMCSA requires 50% drug and 10% alcohol testing annually. Our consortium eliminates the administrative burden of random testing—automated selections, documentation, and compliance certificates keep you compliant year-round.
Federal law prohibits dispatch without a verified negative pre-employment test. Access 3,000+ collection locations nationwide with MRO-verified results typically returned in 24-72 hours.
Properly documented reasonable suspicion testing protects both safety and legal defensibility. Same-day testing with real-time supervisor coaching and complete documentation support.
