Why is a DOT Consortium Required?

Owner Operators- DOT requires all owner-operators to enroll in a consortium so they are included in a compliant random testing pool because they cannot randomly test themselves.

Small Employers-Some smaller companies may not have enough drivers or safety-sensitive employees to maintain their own statistically valid random pool. Therefore, by joining a consortium, they are combined with other companies to form a large pool that meets DOT testing requirements.

Large Employers-Larger fleets may manage their own random pool but often use a consortium/TPA to outsource the process, reduce administrative burden, and ensure strict compliance.

How Our DOT Consortium Works

Step 1: Enroll: Select a 1, 2, or 3 year membership and receive your Certificate of Compliance by email.

Quarterly Selections: We process our consortiums using a scientifically valid, computer-generated random draws each quarter.

Immediate Notifications: If selected, your DER receives email & phone notice with selection instructions.

Testing & Results: Visit the assigned testing center. ADT will manage CCFs, lab processing, and reporting.

MIS Reporting: Year-end and on-demand MIS reports included.

Included With Membership

  • All random selection test fees (drug & alcohol where applicable)
  • DER support & audit-ready documentation
  • Federal CCFs (5-part) for DOT drug tests

    ADT is truly the best

    Where do I start?!! ADT is truly the best!! I had the pleasure of speaking with Tori today! She was excellent, professional and truly went above and beyond in her kind, compassionate care and commitment to providing me with the best service possible. I was in such a time crunch, but I was able to call, order the test, pay for it over the phone and get the test I needed within the hour. Not only did this put my mind at ease, they saved my job!! I am forever grateful for this team of hard workers, that care, with such great work ethics! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart!!! If you need a drug, alcohol, etc… screening, this team will be your lifesavers!!

    This is by far the easiest

    This is by far the easiest way to get my lab work ordered and paid for. The phone calls are short and to the point. They don’t try to push extra sales on you and when I walk in to the clinic I simply show my donor pass and with in a matter of minutes I’m done. I will continue to use ADT in the future.

    Jason Jackson - 7/19/2025

    Saved My CDL!

    Time was running out before my Cdl got downgraded because of a violation I had on clearinghouse. I couldn't find an employer to send me for my return to duty test, but these guys had my test scheduled and done in the same day! They saved my cdl. Thank you again!

    Michael Williams - 12/2/2024
