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.

Percentages are set by each DOT agency and may change.
The FMCSA, or Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, enforces regulations that oblige employers, overseen by 49 CFR 382.305, to sustain a compliant random testing program. Owner-operators in the state of Iowa are required to be part of a consortium that pools together two or more covered employees.
Operating under the oversight of the United States Coast Guard (USCG), which is part of Homeland Security, marine employers are mandated by 46 CFR Part 16.230 to facilitate random drug testing of crewmembers tasked with safety-sensitive responsibilities. In Iowa, as well as elsewhere, adherence to these regulations is critical.
Within the jurisdiction of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), employers must include a wide array of safety-sensitive functions under 14 CFR Part 120. This responsibility extends to all of Iowa’s aviation activities, ensuring stringent safety protocols are followed continuously.
Railroads operating in Iowa are required to submit and follow an FRA-approved random testing plan as stipulated by 49 CFR 219.601-219.609. This ensures that the workforce meets federally regulated safety standards consistently throughout the state.
| Employee Category | Drugs | Alcohol |
|---|---|---|
| Covered Service | 25% | 10% |
| Maintenance of Way / Roadway Workers | 25% | 10% |
| Mechanical | 50% | 25% |
Iowa-based employers under the jurisdiction of 49 CFR Part 655 must employ a selection technique that is scientifically valid. This ensures fair and unbiased selection within random drug and alcohol testing programs across the region.
In adherence to federal mandates, operators in Iowa who fall under Parts 192, 193, or 195 are required to conduct testing of covered employees as dictated by 49 CFR Part 199. The goal is to maintain high safety and compliance levels at all times.
Joining our DOT consortium is the fastest way to achieve immediate compliance. We provide the Certificate of Compliance, random selections, MIS reports and testing coordination.

Failing to comply with DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements can result in severe consequences for both employers and drivers, including:
What is a DOT Consortium (c/TPA) and who needs it?
A consortium C/TPA oversees portions or all of an employer's drug and alcohol testing program, including the management of random testing pools to stay compliant with 49 CFR part 40.
Are random testing percentages always the same or do they change?
DOT random test rates can vary annually based on positivity results, but in our consortium, regardless of the rate, every DOT random test cost is covered.
What happens when I am selected for a random test?
ADT communicates with the Company DER or Owner Operator via email or phone, providing details of the nearest testing site and steps to follow. Once informed, the employee selected must head to the test location promptly.
What drugs are tested on a DOT drug test?
A DOT drug screening involves a urine test checking for five specific drugs and a DOT breath alcohol test. It is essential to use the Federal CCF and Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
Can you help during a DOT audit or inspection?
Yes, ADT can arrange all necessary paperwork, like pre-employment tests, random pool enrollment proof, supervisor training certifications, DOT policy development, and MIS reports.
How often can I update my employee pool?
We confirm updates to the employee roster every quarter. Employers have the flexibility to add or remove covered employees anytime before selection dates.

Accredited has been wonderful to work with! My court ordered tests are on a very strange schedule but every time I call, they are quick to schedule me and are always able to find a location that works for where I’m at and when! Thank you for making this rather undesirable situation less stressful and efficient.

Dealing with allegation’s of drug use that completely false is stressful, ADT was able to get me the best tests, going back the farthest in the same day with as little hassle as possible, I spoke with 1 person and wasn’t transferred once, and they took my payment, and got me my work order for a clinic as close as possible for the service I needed. 5*
