The honest answer — and I prefer honest answers over vague "call for pricing" deflection — is that BBB Mobile charges $100 for a DOT urine drug test, $65 for DOT breath alcohol testing, and starting at $250 for post-accident emergency testing. Travel fees may apply depending on your location. Those are the numbers. But if cost is what you're evaluating, the test fee is only part of the equation. The full cost of DOT drug testing includes what happens when you run the program right — and what happens when you don't.
DOT Urine Drug Test: $100 per test
This is the standard FMCSA five-panel urine drug screen. Includes: professional on-site collection at your location, federal chain-of-custody procedures, overnight shipping to a SAMHSA-certified laboratory, and Medical Review Officer review of all results. This is the test required for pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, and return-to-duty situations.
DOT Breath Alcohol Testing: $65 per test
Performed by a qualified Breath Alcohol Technician with an Evidential Breath Testing device approved under 49 CFR Part 40. Includes the screening test and confirmation test protocol if needed. On-site at your Utah location.
Post-Accident Testing: From $250
The higher starting price reflects the emergency nature of the service — immediate dispatch, prioritized response, and the equipment and time required for a rapid response to a post-accident situation. Exact cost depends on location and circumstances. Call us the moment an accident occurs at (435) 395-1459.
On-Site Group Testing: Call for Quote
Pricing depends on group size, test type, and location. Group testing is often the most cost-effective option on a per-test basis for employers who need to test multiple employees at once.
Non-DOT Drug Testing: Call for Pricing
Panel and pricing vary based on your policy requirements. Generally comparable to DOT pricing for similar panel tests.
Travel Fees
Travel fees may apply for locations outside our primary service area (Summit County, Wasatch County, Salt Lake County). We're transparent about this — if your location has a travel fee, we tell you before you schedule. No surprises on the invoice.
Location — Mobile testing providers charge more for locations farther from their base. Our primary service areas are Summit County and Salt Lake County. Employers in Weber County, Davis County, Utah County, or Tooele County should ask about travel fees when calling.
Test volume — Employers who test frequently or in groups may have different pricing arrangements than single-test requests. If you're managing an ongoing consortium program with multiple tests per year, or if you need regular group testing, that's worth discussing when you call.
Test type — Drug testing and alcohol testing are priced separately because they use different equipment, procedures, and technician certifications. If FMCSA requires both (as in a post-accident or return-to-duty situation), both are charged.
Emergency vs. scheduled — Post-accident testing carries a higher base cost than scheduled testing. That premium reflects the priority dispatch and real-time response the service requires.
Employers sometimes compare the test fee for mobile testing against the test fee for clinic-based testing and conclude that clinic is cheaper. That comparison is incomplete.
Here's the full cost of a clinic-based DOT drug test for one driver earning $25/hour:
Total real cost of a clinic-based test: $85–$120 per test, often more when you account for full labor cost.
Compare that to mobile testing: $100 for the complete test including MRO review, plus the driver's 15 minutes of collection time ($6.25 in labor at $25/hour). Total: $106.25. Possibly a travel fee. Even with a travel fee, the math often comes out ahead or even for mobile testing — and that's before accounting for the operational disruption of having a driver off-site.
The test fee is the visible cost. The cost of a positive result is what doesn't get discussed enough.
If a driver fails a pre-employment DOT drug test, your company is not out $100. You're out:
The time spent recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding the hire up to this point. The testing fee. The delay in getting a qualified driver in that truck — and every day a revenue-generating truck sits idle costs money. The time your dispatcher spends scrambling to cover the gap. Potentially overtime for other drivers covering the missing route.
For a trucking company where a truck generates $800 to $1,200 per day in revenue, a 3-day driver vacancy costs $2,400 to $3,600. The $100 drug test that caught the positive is a rounding error against that number. The test is cheap. The program it protects is valuable.
And if you skip the test — if a driver who would have failed a pre-employment drug test never gets tested, and then causes an accident — the numbers become catastrophic. FMCSA penalties, litigation liability, insurance implications, potential loss of operating authority. I'm not making this dramatic to sell a test. These are real outcomes from real cases, and the common thread is always an employer who thought the testing was optional or too expensive.

BBB Mobile charges $100 for a DOT urine drug test. That price includes on-site collection, the federal chain-of-custody form, transport to a SAMHSA-certified laboratory, and Medical Review Officer review of the result.
DOT breath alcohol testing (BAT) is $65 per test, performed on an approved Evidential Breath Testing device with the confirmation test handled on-site when required.
Post-accident emergency testing starts at $250. The higher base price reflects priority 24/7 dispatch and immediate response within the FMCSA post-accident testing windows.
A $70 travel fee applies to all service calls and is waived when you book 5 or more services. We quote any travel fee upfront before you schedule, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
When you factor in driver downtime, the math usually favors mobile testing. A clinic visit can pull a CDL driver off the road for two to three hours; mobile collection takes about 15 minutes at your location.
Yes. Book 5 or more services and the $70 travel fee is waived. Call (435) 395-1459 for fleet, consortium, and on-site group testing pricing.
