Drug and Alcohol Testing Services/Preferred Pricing

Drug and alcohol testing is a regulatory requirement. NSWMA has created a partnership with Concorde, Inc., its endorsed supplier to provide NSWMA members with drug and alcohol testing services. Concorde provides a turnkey program which gives members everything they need to have a compliant, low maintenance, high-quality substance abuse testing program that meets all the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation and all federal, state and local requirements. NSWMA members will receive preferred pricing from Concorde, which offers a single point of contact and consolidated billing to companies who operate multiple locations.

Concorde, a recognized leader in substance abuse testing, offers a national network of 5,000 clinic collection sites as well as 1,400 on-site collectors. A full-service provider, Concorde performs pre-employment background investigation screening, DOT compliance services, physical exams, Driver Qualification Files, and litigation support. The Philadelphia-based company was founded in 1983 and immediately began serving the environmental industry.

Concorde understands the DOT requirements and what companies need to be compliant. Concorde has extensive experience managing DOT/FMCSA-compliant random pools. Concorde offers a state-of-the-art, web-based reporting system that provides extremely fast turnaround on test results. Concorde serves many major players in our industry and has 22 years of solid waste industry experience. This program gives smaller companies the same advantages and services that previously only were available to really large companies.

Concorde has developed DQ-it, an industry-specific online Driver Qualification File system. DQ-it also integrates CSA data to track and pinpoint high-risk drivers and locations. DQ-it is available in 3 different, customizable levels based on the unique needs of the company, and set-up assistance and full file management is available. DQ-it notifies you of expiring or missing documents, and offers a robust MVR ordering system, all which can be accessed through mobile smart-phone devices.

In addition to serving many solid waste industry leaders, Concorde’s other clients include state governments, Fortune 500 telecommunication companies, trucking firms, school districts, and small businesses.
