About IPS

Exceeding expectations is the entire business.

Our first and foremost goal is exceeding client expectations through exceptional quality of service and responsiveness. Everything else follows from that.

IPS Drug Testing keeps transportation companies DOT compliant — random testing, consortium management and the safety compliance work that surrounds them. Behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound vehicle, impairment is not a paperwork problem. It is the one risk you can screen for before it ever reaches the road.

We grow almost entirely by referral — from the trucking companies we already serve.

We are part of a two-company group alongside IPS Technology Services, which builds the software platform our compliance work runs on.

Who we serve

Safety compliance and DOT random management for carriers of every size, nationwide.
  • Automatic dimming at night 300+ drivers
  • Mid-sized fleets of 50–80 drivers
  • Independent owner-operators

Client Stories

Referrals are our whole strategy.

"We switched three years ago after our old TPA missed a random selection deadline. IPS rebuilt the whole program in a week. When the DOT audited us last spring, they sat with us through every document. Zero findings.”
MR
Michael Reyes
Safety Director · Midwest Freight
“The portal alone is worth it. I pull a driver's full testing history in about ten seconds — it used to take me half a day of emails. And when I call, an actual person picks up.”
SK
Sarah Kowalski
HR Manager · Great Lakes Logistics
“Post-accident test at 1am in rural Ohio. I called the emergency line and had a collection site and a driver on the way inside twenty minutes. That is the entire reason we stay.”
DT
Darnell Thompson
Operations VP · Pinnacle Carriers
“We run 40 owner-operators and thought we were too small to matter to a TPA. IPS priced us fairly and treats us like their biggest account. We've referred four carriers to them.”
AP
Anita Patel
Owner · Northline Distribution
“Our Clearinghouse queries were a mess when we came over. IPS reconciled two years of records, registered us properly, and now the annual queries just happen. I don’t think about it anymore.”
CB
Carlos Bautista
Compliance Lead · Metro Transit Group
“We hire seasonally, so pre-employment volume spikes hard in spring. IPS never once slowed us down — drivers get to a nearby clinic same day, and results land before we need them.”

Not happy with your current TPA?

Most of our clients came to us frustrated. Here is the difference they describe in week one.

Typical TPA

  • Slow response — days for a callback
  • Limited clinic network
  • No online portal
  • Manual paperwork and faxed forms
  • You face the DOT audit alone
  • Sold on price, forgotten after signup

IPS Drug Testing

  • Fast response — same day, every day
  • 1500+ collection sites nationwide
  • Modern portal, live 24/7
  • Real-time reporting and alerts
  • We sit with you through the audit
  • We grow because clients refer us

Switching is free. We migrate your records for you — most programs are live within 24 hours.
