What is the difference between regular alcohol and drug testing and a DOT screening?

Regular alcohol and drug testing involves testing individuals for the presence of drugs or alcohol in their system, typically as a part of a workplace or legal requirement. 

DOT screenings, on the other hand, are specific types of testing required by the Department of Transportation for individuals in safety-sensitive positions, such as commercial truck drivers and pilots. A DOT screening includes testing for specific drugs and alcohol at specific cutoff levels and follows a strict set of guidelines and procedures set out by the DOT.
