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 happens when I am selected for a random test?
Answer: ADT will reach out to notify the Designated Employer Representative (DER) or owner-operator via email or phone, providing details about the closest test site and necessary instructions. The selected employee is required to head to the testing site right after notification.

I was so surprised with the quality of customer service I received today when I called Accredited Drug Testing. The representative was so clear and competent. She was able to reschedule an appointment at my preferred location. The representative whose name is Justice, was so polite and competent. She expedited the whole process. It was a relief to me.
