MGSafer Services, LLC offer consortium/third party administration (C/TPA) services for companies regulated by federal and state government. We help transportation companies of all sizes to comply with legal requirements. Whether it is managing the testing program of an intrastate owner-operator motor carrier or managing the testing program of a large and diverse interstate DOT/FMCSA-regulated transportation company, we will help you implement quality substance abuse prevention with a testing program that will meet or exceed federal, state and industry standards.
MGSafer Services also provides support and services for Drug-Free Workplace testing. If you are interested in a professional drug and alcohol testing service for your non-regulated employees, you will find us flexible enough to accommodate your specific needs; no client or program is too large or too small.
Random selections are made by state-of-the-art program management software on a quarterly basis. If an employee is selected for random testing, the Designated Employer Representative (DER) of the location will receive a confidential notification identifying the employee by name and social security number, indicating the type of test to be performed (i.e. drug or drug and alcohol).
For DOT-regulated employees, the annual random test selection rate will be a minimum of 50% for drugs and 10% for alcohol.
The Federal Custody and Control Forms (CCF) and testing kits required for DOT testing (and/or non-regulated employees) are supplied to you at no additional cost.
MGSafer Services is associated with Quest, Concentra, Your Docs In, and many Occupational Health companies. We also offer OnSite Testing through our Certified Collectors.
Results are usually available within 24-48 hours.

We can provide the referral services of a qualified substance abuse professional (a DOT requirement) should there be a positive drug test result or an alcohol violation rate greater than .04. This Employee Assistance Program (EAP) service includes evaluation, recommendation for treatment, recommendation for follow-up testing, and, should the employer choose, a monitored follow-up testing program and completion evaluation if the employee will return to safety-sensitive functions as defined by FHWA.
