Minert & Associates

Headquartered in Meridian, Idaho, Minert & Associates, Inc., offers drug screening and testing, drug-testing supplies, diagnostics, and background checks for United States Department of Transportation (DOT) classifications and other clients nationwide. The Minert & Associates nonregulated drug and alcohol testing occurs onsite, via an instant testing device, or at a laboratory, a more time-consuming and expensive method but one that appeals to some businesses that employ both DOT and non-DOT employees. The laboratory method also produces fewer “false positive” results. Minert and Associates’ innovative approach includes designing custom programs that best fit particular organizations. This might entail monthly, quarterly, seasonal, or random drug and alcohol testing. A company with employees at several sites can choose to spread the testing to individuals at different locations, with the job sites selected randomly by computer. In addition to randomly, Minert and Associates provides drug testing pre-employment, on reasonable suspicion, and post-accident both onsite and through clinic collection. Other services of the family-owned and operated Minert and Associates include a proprietary online data platform for small and large companies and supervisor training meeting DOT guidelines, onsite and through online videos. With more than 20 years of experience in the field, Minert & Associates saves clients time and money with its knowledge, resources, and innovative solutions to substance abuse testing. In the local Treasure Valley area, the firm offers medical-marijuana and other training related to cannabis, including the best approach to teens and marijuana. A member of the Idaho Trucking Association, Minert & Associates supports a number of worthy causes, such as the Meridian Mayor’s Anti-Drug Coalition, the Idaho Foodbank, and Boise City CATCH (Charitable Assistance to Community’s Homeless). Other recipients of the generosity of Minert & Associates include the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Operation Smile, The American National Red Cross, and the Free Wheelchair Mission.
