SafestHires as a DISA Global Solutions alternative
DISA alternatives are usually evaluated by construction, energy, transportation, and manufacturing employers running a combined program: DOT and non-DOT drug and alcohol testing, MVR monitoring, and criminal screening, ideally coordinated by one provider and one point of contact.
Short answer
Is SafestHires a good DISA Global Solutions alternative?
SafestHires is a veteran-owned, U.S.-based provider evaluated as a DISA Global Solutions alternative by safety-sensitive employers that need drug and alcohol testing alongside criminal screening. Both cover DOT-regulated testing and MVR programs; SafestHires prices per check with no platform fee or annual minimum, reaches 3,000+ courts digitally, and assigns a named U.S.-based account manager to every account.
Where SafestHires fits
SafestHires runs the combined safety-sensitive program — DOT and non-DOT testing, MVR/DOT records, criminal and verification searches — on per-check pricing with a single named account manager coordinating it.
The comparison below is intended to help you shortlist, not to rank providers. Score both against the same criteria — pricing model, turnaround by search type, court coverage in your hiring counties, dispute rate, escalation path, and integrations.

What to check before you switch
- Confirm collection-site network coverage near your actual job sites, not just nationally.
- Separate DOT from non-DOT testing requirements before comparing quotes; the programs price differently.
- Ask how random-testing pools, MRO review, and Clearinghouse queries are administered and reported.
- Confirm whether criminal, MVR, and testing results land in one report and one system of record.
Frequently asked questions
Does SafestHires handle DOT drug and alcohol testing programs?
Yes — DOT-regulated drug and alcohol testing with MRO review, plus non-DOT panels, and the related MVR, PSP, and CDLIS records. The DOT background check tool identifies which requirements attach to a given role.
Can criminal screening and testing run under one account?
Yes. Criminal, verification, MVR, and testing services are ordered from the same account with one named account manager coordinating results, so you are not reconciling two vendors on one hire.
How fast can we switch providers?
Most teams are ordering within a few business days. Account setup, user provisioning, and package configuration are handled by a named account manager, and existing ATS integrations are re-pointed rather than rebuilt.
Is there a minimum volume or annual contract?
No. SafestHires prices per check with no platform fee, no seat license, and no annual minimum. You can estimate your spend on the pricing page before talking to anyone.
