Our laboratories, Medtox and LabCorp (LabCorp purchased Medtox for $241 million last summer), have been mailing out new chain of custody forms (CoC or CCFs) to your business or home.

The long-haired Grateful Dead used to sing about “Truckin’” on “reds, vitamin C and cocaine.” Now, some lawmakers see hair as the best way to test truckers for drug use.
That’s just the latest front in a broader federal crackdown on drugged driving.
This summer, Congress required the Department of Transportation to create a database of commercial drivers who have failed drug and alcohol tests. Read more

More California drivers tested positive for drugs – especially marijuana – than for alcohol during a first-of-its-kind roadside survey that safety officials say points to a serious and growing threat.
One in every seven drivers checked on four weekend nights this summer had illegal or prescription drugs in their system, which could make them dangerous behind the wheel, according to the survey released in December. Read more
Over the last year we have seen increases in the cost of goods and services from all of our vendors; labs, collection sites and even our MRO, who was actually asking for a 100% price increase. That of course was unacceptable to us and in early November we began searching for a replacement MRO service.
We are committed to providing our clients, “you,” with uncompromising service and unique technology to make the hassles of drug testing as hassle-free as possible. We have looked at other quality MRO vendors who do understand this economy and are willing to provide high quality services for less. Read more
We have determined that there is a need for a paperwork change to better assist our clients in getting their results (especially on pre-employment tests) as quickly as possible. As part of our new and improved MRO services, we will now have all of our chain of custody forms (CCF) printed and sent out to clients to store at your place of business or in the vehicle along with the AADT Form 111 Passport.
The “new” chain of custody forms will have your AADT ID number at the top along with your company name, address, phone and fax numbers etc. and the MRO information to the right, all pre-printed. When you run out just simply email us at cs@aadrugtesting.com or call us to place an order for replacements. Read more
It can be very stressful when you are looking to hire a new driver, especially if you have a truck sitting in the yard costing you money. and worse yet, you have loads waiting to be picked up or dropped off.
There is an enormous amount of liability associated with hiring a driver that is not pre-employment drug tested. Liabilities include regulatory/enforcement issues, fines and possibly treble damage legal claims that insurance companies may never cover. Clearly, ignoring pre-employment testing is not worth the costs to your business today. Read more

After reviewing the financials for year-end 2012, we identified a substantial increase in the “cost of goods” sold. This represents the costs of our lab fees, Medical Review Officer (MRO) fees and collector or collection fees.
This increase over the last 10 months has cost us $54,000 more than last fiscal year. Since our lab fees and MRO fees did not change, it was obvious that the collection sites have increased their fees, not by just a little, but a lot – 50% to 75% and even more in some cases. Read more
