Both are directly from the labs and provide info on what they test for, how they do it and how they find it. I am not sure about trucking, but Quest Diagnostics is the go to for every other industry needing pre-employment drug screening.
In re: to panels. The majority of places I have looked into do the 5 panel drug test as required by DOT. Marijuana/THC, Cocaine metabolites, Amphetamines/MDMA, Opiates, PCP. Others will do 10, 12 and 20 panel. But those are really expensive and not as common.
Hope this helps.
