Compliance should never strand an employer or owner-operator far from a collection site. AZC Drug Testing is strengthening access to dependable DOT drug and alcohol testing with a nationwide network of more than 10,000 collection sites and seven Arizona locations, including its newest location at 2001 W. Orange Grove Rd, Ste 416 in Northwest Tucson.
“We saw the need for a quality test collection site in Northwest Tucson that can also service both Marana and Oro Valley as we saw our clients either having to drive too far or have their employees wait at occ med clinics for extended periods of time just to get tested,” said Gary Oschmann, AZC's President. This expansion is a direct response to local demand, aiming to reduce travel time and wait times for employers and drivers in the region.
The importance of this expansion lies in the critical role that drug and alcohol testing plays in maintaining safety and compliance within the transportation industry. For truck drivers and other safety-sensitive employees, being able to access a collection site quickly and efficiently is not just a matter of convenience—it is essential for keeping operations running without unnecessary delays. AZC Drug Testing coordinates collection sites, Medical Review Officer (MRO) review, and result tracking, helping employers manage random selections without disruptions.
For over 30 years, AZC Drug Testing has helped employers, fleets, and owner-operators stay compliant, audit-ready, and moving. The company supports businesses nationally across all six U.S. Department of Transportation modes while providing the personalized service and clear processes that make compliance easier to manage. “What has not changed is our commitment to being accessible, responsive, and straightforward,” said a representative of AZC Drug Testing. “A real person answers the phone, certificates are available immediately, random programs are included, and documentation is ready before an auditor asks for it.”
This new location is part of a broader trend of increased compliance needs in Arizona. As the state's economy grows, so does the number of commercial drivers and employers subject to DOT regulations. AZC Drug Testing's expanding presence reflects the increasing reliance on their services for DOT compliance support. Unlike providers that add hidden fees or route customers through automated phone systems, AZC Drug Testing focuses on direct service, transparent support, and practical compliance solutions.
With seven Arizona locations and access to more than 10,000 collection sites nationwide, AZC Drug Testing gives employers the flexibility to keep drivers tested, records organized, and operations moving forward. This expansion not only benefits local businesses but also ensures that drivers traveling through the area can meet their testing requirements without major detours.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond the immediate convenience for clients. By expanding its footprint, AZC Drug Testing is positioning itself to better serve the growing demand for DOT compliance services in Arizona. The company's commitment to personalized service and audit-ready documentation provides a competitive edge in an industry where reliability and efficiency are paramount. For employers, this means less downtime and fewer compliance headaches. For drivers, it means easier access to the testing they need to stay on the road.
In an industry where time is money, having a collection site in Northwest Tucson is a strategic advantage. It not only addresses the current needs of clients in Marana and Oro Valley but also anticipates future growth. AZC Drug Testing's approach—combining a vast national network with local accessibility—ensures that compliance is never a barrier to business operations.
Ultimately, this expansion underscores the company's dedication to making DOT drug and alcohol testing as seamless as possible. As regulations continue to evolve and the demand for qualified drivers increases, having reliable testing infrastructure in place is more important than ever. AZC Drug Testing's new location is a testament to their ongoing commitment to supporting the transportation industry in Arizona and beyond.
