AZC Drug Testing has opened a new collection site in Northwest Tucson, marking its seventh location in Arizona and expanding its statewide network. The new site, located at 2001 W. Orange Grove Rd, Ste 416, aims to serve the communities of Marana and Oro Valley, addressing a gap in convenient access to Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol testing.
Gary Oschmann, President of AZC Drug Testing, highlighted the necessity for the new location, stating, "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."
The expansion is part of AZC Drug Testing's broader strategy to provide reliable compliance support to employers, fleets, and owner-operators. With a nationwide network of more than 10,000 collection sites, the company coordinates testing logistics, including Medical Review Officer (MRO) review and result tracking, to minimize operational disruptions. This infrastructure helps employers manage random selections efficiently, ensuring that compliance does not become a burden.
For over three decades, AZC Drug Testing has assisted businesses across all six DOT modes, offering services such as random testing consortiums, private pool administration, and audit-ready documentation. The company emphasizes a personalized approach, with a representative noting, "A real person answers the phone, certificates are available immediately, random programs are included, and documentation is ready before an auditor asks for it."
The growing presence in Arizona reflects increasing demand for dependable compliance solutions. Unlike providers that may impose hidden fees or rely on automated systems, AZC Drug Testing focuses on direct service and transparent support. The new Northwest Tucson site is expected to reduce travel time for drivers and employees, who previously had to seek testing at distant facilities or endure long waits at occupational medicine clinics.
With the addition of this location, AZC Drug Testing now operates seven sites in Arizona, providing drug and alcohol test collections, fingerprinting, and employee background checks. The company's nationwide reach, combined with local accessibility, offers employers the flexibility to keep drivers tested and records organized, facilitating uninterrupted operations.
The announcement underscores the importance of accessible compliance testing in the transportation industry. By expanding its footprint, AZC Drug Testing aims to ensure that employers and owner-operators can meet regulatory requirements without undue delay, supporting safety and accountability on the roads.
