October is National Youth Substance Use Prevention Month.

School is back in session, but the last 18 months has taken its toll on parents, teachers, and students. This unprecedented time has caused isolation, fear and anxiety where time-honored rites of passage and normality itself have been thrown into disarray. For some, this could open the door to substance use as a means to cope.

Now is a great time to talk with your kids about the dangers of substance use. But, where to start? The Substance Abuse and Mental health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recently published a helpful article complete with an downloadable app and list of resources to help you open this critically necessary conversation with your kids. Midlands Testing Services, Inc. is committed to fostering a substance-free and safe workplace.

Your work today can make a positive impact on their chance for success in academics, healthy social circles, when seeking student loans, and when applying for and keeping a job. The time to start building that resilience to substance use in your kid is today.

Midlands Testing Services, Inc. is looking for either certified DOT trained testers OR people willing to be trained for DOT drug/alcohol testing. We provide all training if necessary. The equipment can be provided if necessary as well, with arrangements. We conduct mobile alcohol breath tests and then instructions for a urine sample collection for the drug test that is packaged and shipped to a laboratory for testing. No previous experience is required.

This testing is for the railroads in your area, servicing about a 75 mile radius. We go to their location to perform this work. A railroad manager will be onsite to present the person/people being tested.

Pays per job. All mileage is paid at the current IRS rate and an additional bonus is paid for longer distances. This would be considered a part time position, 1099 sub-contractor. Serious testers average about $40 per hour of work. The number of hours worked depends on client demand and how many assignments you take.

Railroads operate 24-hours a day, so jobs can occur any time day or night, but most jobs are scheduled in the early morning around 7:00 AM. Having open availably to accept emergency call outs is a must, again, these testing events can happen with very little notice, having an open schedule is important.

Our 24/7, Omaha-based call center is always there to help you and can answer any question you have on a client site at any time of day or night.

The best fit for this position is someone who is:

-Semi-retired or someone only looking for part time work

-Able to accept work on demand for emergency call outs (most tests are scheduled several days in advance)

-Willing to complete the required training. This will include reading the regulation and meeting for in person instructions/training/certification if necessary.

-A good communicator willing to work with our office as a team

-Able to follow directions in this detail-oriented field

You must care about the work you will perform and present yourself in a professional manner. Clean, neat clothing is the rule. Think polo type shirts, conservative blouses, and jeans without holes in them.

You must have a reliable vehicle to do this work. A smartphone is highly preferred so that you can take advantage of our workflow software in the field.

MTSI is looking to fill these positions immediately.
