Mobile drug & alcohol testing · North Carolina
Your crew stays
on the clock.
We come to you.
Sending one employee to a collection site costs you most of a shift. Elite Screening Solutions brings a qualified collector to your yard, plant, terminal or office, runs the collection under full federal chain of custody, and leaves without stopping your day.

The real cost
A drug test is cheap. Losing a shift to one is not.
Most employers price testing by the panel and never price the hours around it. Drive time, waiting room time, the second trip when the clinic is backed up, and the employee who does not come back to the job that afternoon.
Move the collection to your site and almost all of that disappears. The employee steps away from the line for fifteen minutes and goes back to work. Put your own numbers in and see what the current arrangement is costing you over a year.
- No mileage reimbursement for trips to a collection site
- No supervisor time spent chasing down who did and did not go
- No second appointment when someone cannot produce a specimen
- Post-accident collections start when we arrive, not when a clinic opens

Who we work with
Three different jobs, one collector at the door.
An employer needs defensible records. An individual needs a result they can hand to a court or an attorney. A medical practice needs a collection performed correctly without adding to the front desk workload. The standard does not change between them.
Employers and safety managers
DOT and non-DOT programs, random consortium administration, post-accident response, supervisor reasonable suspicion documentation, and records that hold up when an auditor asks for them.
Employer programsIndividuals and families
Court ordered and probation testing, DNA and paternity with legal chain of custody, fingerprinting for licensing, and personal testing handled discreetly and without judgement.
Individual servicesHealthcare providers
Physician office collection support, mobile collections for homebound patients, clinical trial specimen handling, and laboratory coordination that keeps your staff at the front desk.
Provider servicesChain of custody
Seven stages. Every one of them documented.
A drug test result is only worth what the procedure behind it can survive. If a collection is challenged in a hearing, an arbitration or a lawsuit, what gets examined is the chain of custody, not the laboratory. Here is exactly what happens to a specimen from the moment we arrive, and the federal rule behind each stage.
Collector arrives at your site
A qualified collector comes to your yard, plant, terminal or office at a scheduled window. A private restroom or a quiet room is all the space we need. Your employee walks down the hall instead of driving across town.
49 CFR 40.33 collector trainingIdentity confirmed, belongings secured
Photo identification is checked and recorded. Coats, bags and anything in the pockets stay outside the collection area. Water sources are secured and bluing agent goes in the bowl before anyone steps in.
49 CFR 40.61 preparationSpecimen provided and sealed in view
The employee never leaves the collector's sight with an unsealed specimen. The container is handed straight back, and the seals are signed and dated by the employee, not by us.
49 CFR 40.63 privacy and sealsVolume and temperature verified
The collector confirms at least 45 mL of urine and reads the temperature strip within four minutes. The acceptable range is 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything outside it is documented on the spot and triggers a second collection under direct observation.
49 CFR 40.65 sufficiency and temperatureCustody and control form completed
The federal chain of custody form is filled out step by step, the specimen identification number is matched to the bottle labels, and every person who handles the sample from that point forward signs for it.
49 CFR 40.73 the CCFSealed transport to a certified laboratory
The sealed specimen travels in a tamper evident bag to a laboratory certified by the Department of Health and Human Services. Screening runs first, and anything that screens positive is confirmed by mass spectrometry before it means anything at all.
49 CFR 40.81 certified laboratoriesMedical review officer verifies the result
A licensed physician acting as Medical Review Officer reviews every non-negative result and contacts the employee directly to ask whether there is a legitimate medical explanation. Only then does a verified result reach your desk.
49 CFR 40.121 MRO reviewWhat we collect
Every collection type a North Carolina employer is likely to need.
If a service is not listed here, it is worth asking. We coordinate a wider network of laboratory and occupational services than we perform in the field ourselves.
DOT drug and alcohol testing
Pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return to duty and follow-up collections performed to 49 CFR Part 40 for FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA and Coast Guard regulated employers.
Non-DOT workplace testing
Company policy testing on 5, 10 and 12 panel configurations, expanded opiate panels, and hair follicle testing when you need a longer detection window than urine can give you.
Alcohol testing
Evidential breath testing performed on site by a trained technician, with confirmation testing at the 0.02 and 0.04 thresholds the regulations turn on, plus EtG testing where a longer window is required.
Random testing programs and consortium management
Pool administration, defensible random selection, quarterly draws, notification protocol and the annual documentation that satisfies an FMCSA audit without a scramble.
DNA and paternity testing
Legally admissible testing with full chain of custody for family court, immigration and estate matters, alongside informational testing for families who simply want to know.
Fingerprinting and background screening
Ink card and electronic fingerprint capture for professional licensing, employment, adoption and court requirements, with background screening coordinated alongside it.
Why employers move
Most testing vendors are a clinic with a waiting room.
National chains sell you an address and a set of opening hours. The moment your driver is two counties away, or your accident happens at seven in the evening, that address stops being useful.
We are built the other way around. The collector travels, the schedule bends toward your operation, and the person answering the phone knows your account rather than routing you through a national queue.
| Fixed clinic | Elite on site | |
|---|---|---|
| Employee travel | Both ways, on your clock | None |
| Typical time lost | 90 to 180 min | 15 to 25 min |
| Post-accident response | Clinic hours only | Dispatched to the scene |
| Whole crew testing | Staggered across days | One visit |
| Who tracks completion | Your supervisor | We do |
Time ranges reflect typical round trips in the Triangle and vary by distance, clinic queue and traffic.
Service area
Based in Cary. Working across North Carolina.
The Triangle is our home ground and most of our scheduling happens inside it. We travel well beyond it for multi employee collections, and we will tell you honestly when a location is far enough out that a scheduled visit makes more sense than an urgent one.

North Carolina employers
State law sets rules that federal testing does not.
The Controlled Substance Examination Regulation Act, at G.S. 95-230 through 95-235, governs how private employers in North Carolina test current and prospective employees. It is short, it is specific, and a surprising number of employers have never read it.
It requires an approved laboratory, confirmation of positive results by mass spectrometry, retention of positive samples for at least 90 days, and a written procedure for chain of custody. It also gives the employee a right to have a confirmed positive sample retested. Violations carry a civil penalty of up to $250 per affected examinee.
DOT regulated testing is exempt from this Article. If you run both DOT and company policy testing, the two programs follow different rules and should be documented separately.
