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.

What is a DOT Consortium (C/TPA) and who needs it?
A consortium C/TPA is a service provider that manages all or portions of an employer's drug and alcohol testing program, which includes random testing pools and compliance responsibilities under 49 CFR part 40.
Are random testing percentages always the same or do they change?
Rates for DOT random testing may vary yearly based on positivity rates. However, in our consortium, all fees for DOT random testing are covered, regardless of the required random testing rate.
What happens when I am selected for a random test?
ADT notifies the company DER or owner-operator through email or phone. The closest testing location and instructions are provided, requiring the selected employee to promptly appear at the testing center once notified.
What drugs are tested on a DOT drug test?
A DOT drug test includes a screen for a DOT 5-panel urine and a DOT breath alcohol test. It's crucial that all tests are administered using a Federal CCF and a Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
Can you help during a DOT audit or inspection?
Yes, ADT assists by organizing vital documentation, such as pre-employment tests, random pool enrollment proof, supervisor training certificates, DOT policy development, and MIS reports.
How often can I update my employee pool?
We confirm employee roster updates every quarter. Employers are permitted to add or remove covered employees anytime before selection dates.
