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.
- Large transportation companies running 300+ drivers
- Mid-sized fleets of 50–80 drivers
- Independent owner-operators
