Our DOT Consortium Membership includes quarterly random selections, notifications by email & phone, testing site coordination, MIS reporting, and a Certificate of Compliance upon enrollment. Owner-operators DOT-regulated employers Certificate of Compliance.
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.

Are random testing percentages always the same or do they change?
DOT random testing rates can fluctuate annually based on the positivity rate. Within our consortium, all DOT random testing charges are covered regardless of the rate.
What happens when I am selected for a random test?
ADT will inform the company DER or Owner Operator via email/phone with details of the nearest test location and necessary instructions. The selected employee must promptly visit the designated testing center after notification.
What drugs are tested on a DOT drug test?
A DOT drug test involves a DOT 5-panel urine screening and a DOT breath alcohol test. It is vital to ensure all tests are performed using a Federal CCF and Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
Can you help during a DOT audit or inspection?
Yes, ADT can arrange the requisite documents such as pre-employment tests, proof of random pool membership, supervisor training certificates, DOT policy formulation, and MIS reports.
How often can I update my employee pool?
