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 rates consistent, or can they vary?
The DOT's random testing percentages can fluctuate annually depending on positivity rates. Despite any changes in random testing percentages, our consortium covers all DOT random testing costs.

A DOT drug test evaluates for a DOT 5-panel urine as well as a breath alcohol test. All these tests must utilize a Federal Custody and Control Form and Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
