Frequently Asked Questions
Is this test instant?
Yes — Breath Alcohol Test results are available immediately on site.
What if the driver tests 0.02–0.039?
The driver must be removed from safety-sensitive functions for at least 24 hours.
What if the driver tests 0.04 or higher?
DOT considers this a failure; the driver must be removed from duty and begin the SAP/RTD process.
Is this the same as a drug test?
No — this is alcohol only. Random drug tests are separate.
Can I schedule multiple random tests?
Yes — simply adjust quantity or contact us for fleet pricing.
