DOT Testing
Done Right
Done in Minutes
Azimuth runs the full Part 40 lifecycle as written: random pools, collection gates, lab routing, MRO review, split specimen, breath alcohol, return-to-duty, and the annual MIS.
One platform, every agency, with the lab and the MRO you already trust.
Thirty minutes, tailored to your Part 40 program. No obligation.
Runs on a phone, tablet, or the optional desktop station · Bring your own lab and MRO · Built for 49 CFR Part 40, end to end
The Whole Part 40 Lifecycle,
Built In
Every Designated Employer Representative (DER) knows the feeling: the audit notice lands, and you start wondering which binder holds the random-draw records and whether the MIS numbers will match. Azimuth keeps that answer one click away, on demand.
By the Book for DOT, Instant for the Rest
Every DOT specimen ships sealed to your HHS-certified laboratory with its custody trail, exactly as Part 40 requires. The non-DOT side of your fleet gets the instant remote read at collection. One platform runs both, and each test follows its own rulebook automatically.
Native to the Platform
Random pools, reproducible draws, MIS reporting, return-to-duty and SAP tracking, breath alcohol. One login runs all of it, and the pieces already know about each other, so nothing falls between vendors on your watch.
Bring Your Own Lab and MRO
Keep the laboratory and the medical review relationships you trust. Azimuth routes work to them and pulls results back electronically, so your program modernizes without renegotiating a single contract.
Audit-Ready by Design
Full chain of custody, immutable logs, court-ready records. When the auditor asks how March's random draw was made, you re-run the draw and show compliance.
Random draws you can prove. MIS in one click.
A DOT Test, Start to Finish,
With Every Gate Enforced
Part 40 is a sequence, documented and enforced. Each step below is a hard-coded gate the platform enforces, records, and carries forward to the next.
Random Selection
The consortium engine draws from the covered-employee roster, stores the seed and the ordered pool, and generates the orders. Any draw re-runs on demand and matches, byte for byte.
Order and Notify
Reason-coded orders: pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, follow-up. A supervisor opens a post-accident order from the scene on a phone.
Collect
Guided Part 40 collection: identity, consent, temperature, seal. Shy-bladder timing, refusals, and observed collections follow the protocol, and every event is documented in the custody record.
Lab Screen and Confirmation
The sealed specimen travels to your HHS-certified laboratory for the screen and any confirmation, with the custody trail attached and results returning electronically.
MRO Review and Split
Your MRO works the case in a console built for §40.131 through §40.149: contact attempts, verification, bottle-B requests, documented determinations. A verified positive opens return-to-duty tracking automatically.
Report and MIS
Audience-aware reports: the DER gets the go/no-go while clinical detail stays gated. Every test feeds the MIS, so the annual report is a click, scoped by agency for mixed fleets.
Built for the People
Who Carry the Liability
Three roles carry a DOT program: the DER, the safety director, and the supervisor in the field. Each gets a workflow built for the job.
Click verify. Skip the panic.
Your name is on the program. Azimuth puts the random-draw record, the MIS numbers, and the custody trail one click away, so the auditor's questions get answered in the room, from the record.
- Reproducible random
- One-click MIS
- Immutable audit
One auditable program, every fleet.
FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, USCG, and the non-DOT side of the house, on one platform with agency-scoped reporting. Every Part 40 step is an enforced gate, so the program holds without heroics.
- Six modal agencies
- DOT / non-DOT routing
- BAT · Subpart N
A post-accident order from the truck.
Reason-coded orders from a phone at the scene, the collection routed, and status in real time until the result lands. The order carries its reason and its timestamp, so the record shows exactly when the clock started.
- Mobile ordering
- Real-time status
- Notifications
Before the Demo
Is the instant read the official DOT result?
No. Part 40 requires every DOT specimen to be screened and confirmed at an HHS-certified laboratory, and the MRO's verified result is the result of record. Azimuth runs that process as written: the specimen ships sealed with its custody trail, and results flow back through MRO review. Instant reads serve the non-DOT side of your program, where company policy governs.
Do we have to change labs or MROs?
No. Keep the HHS-certified laboratory and the MRO you trust. Azimuth routes specimens to them and pulls results back electronically, or your MRO works the case directly in the Azimuth review console.
How do you prove a random draw was random?
Every draw stores the exact ordered pool and the seed it used. Re-run it years later and it produces the same selections, independent of roster churn or software upgrades. Auditors see a verified badge and the math behind it.
Is breath alcohol testing covered?
Yes. Subpart N runs as enforced gates: the EBT calibration check, the screening test, the fifteen-minute wait, the air blank, and the confirmation, each recorded with the device and the technician.
What about the DOT oral fluid rule?
Oral fluid collections run on the same workflow with their own protocol and collection detail. The readiness guide below covers the timeline and the operational changes.
Where does the MIS come from?
From your own test records. Every DOT test carries its agency and its reason, so the annual MIS aggregates itself. You review it, apply manual overrides with an audit trail, and file.
