Walter Pridgen Launches USA Mobile Drug Testing of Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Md. – (Oct. 14, 2011) – Walter Pridgen has launched USA Mobile Drug Testing of Baltimore, Md. (usamdt.com/baltimore) to provide onsite mobile drug testing services for employers in Baltimore and the surrounding areas. The office’s mailing address is P.O. Box 908, Abingdon, MD 21009; telephone 410-530-0201, email address baltimore@usamdt.com.

“USA Mobile Drug Testing (http://www.usamdt.com), a national organization, is the nation’s only 100 percent mobile drug, alcohol and screening service, offering ‘just in time’ testing to save employers from wasted time and lost productivity,” says Pridgen. “Recognizing that employee drug and alcohol abuse cost American businesses $81 billion annually in lost productivity, our certified compliance specialists are providing positive solutions for our local employers.”

Pridgen adds that nearly 75 percent of adult illicit drug users are employed, as are most binge and heavy alcohol users, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. These substance-abusing employees are more likely to change jobs frequently, be late or absent from work, involved in a workplace accident or file a workers’ compensation claim. Small businesses, which are less likely to have substance abuse programs, are most likely to be an employer of choice for individuals with substance abuse issues.

“Our certified drug testing services, performed by compliance specialists, bring increased productivity, centralized recordkeeping and lower liability to clients, no matter how many employees they have,” says Pridgen. “Our clients can be assured of complete compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements and other applicable regulations through our Compliance Data Information System. We stand behind our clients in the event they are audited.”

Pridgen graduated from Old Dominion University with a B.S. in criminal justice after receiving a 2-year Green-to-Gold Army ROTC Scholarship. He is currently serving in the U.S. Army Reserves as a Captain, having served in Iraq in 2005. Most recently, he was General Foreman for the Metro North Railroad in New York City. Pridgen is a Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association (DATIA) certified professional collector.
