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.
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.
Included With Membership
Percentages are set by each DOT agency and may change.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
Adhering to the guidelines of 49 CFR 382.305, employers must ensure they participate in a compliant random testing program. Owner-operators are required to be part of a consortium that includes at least two covered employees, ensuring safety standards are uniformly applied. In De Soto, IA, it's crucial to participate in a consortium that rigorously follows these federal regulations to sustain safety in transportation.
USCG: United States Coast Guard (now under Homeland Security)
In De Soto, IA, maritime employers under the jurisdiction of 46 CFR Part 16.230 are required to carry out random drug testing for crewmembers with safety-sensitive responsibilities. The program includes:
FAA: Federal Aviation Administration
Employers covered under the guidelines of 14 CFR Part 120 are tasked with incorporating every safety-sensitive operation. This encompasses not only federal compliance but ensures that aviation safety standards are maintained in all states, including De Soto, IA.
The Federal Railroad Administration, or FRA, requires railroads to submit and adhere to a random testing plan that has received FRA approval in line with 49 CFR 219.601-219.609. De Soto, IA-based rail services incorporate this standard into operational protocols to ensure ongoing safety and regulatory compliance.
| Employee Category | Drugs | Alcohol |
|---|---|---|
| Covered Service | 25% | 10% |
| Maintenance of Way / Roadway Workers | 25% | 10% |
| Mechanical | 50% | 25% |
Employers regulated under 49 CFR Part 655 must employ a scientifically valid approach for the selection of employees subjected to random testing. This regulation is crucial even in De Soto, IA, ensuring that public transportation entities maintain safety and compliance standards.
Operators governed by Parts 192, 193, or 195 must perform testing of covered employees as per 49 CFR Part 199. This regulation ensures that safety standards are met consistently across all states, including De Soto, IA, particularly for pipeline safety.

Failing to comply with DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements can result in severe consequences for both employers and drivers, including:
What defines a DOT Consortium (C/TPA) and who requires one?
A Consortium or C/TPA is a service provider that manages some or all aspects of an employer's drug and alcohol testing regimen, including random test pools and 49 CFR part 40 compliance duties.
Do random testing percentages fluctuate?
While DOT may adjust random testing rates yearly owing to positive test results, within our consortium, we guarantee all DOT random test fees are pre-included regardless of rate adjustments.
What should I do if selected for a random test?
Upon selection, ADT will inform the company's DER or the owner-operator via email/phone about the nearest test facility and provide directions. The selected employee must proceed to the test site immediately upon notification.
What substances are screened in a DOT drug test?
A DOT drug test routinely includes a five-panel urine test and a breath alcohol test. It's vital that these tests are done using a Federal CCF and Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
Offer help during a DOT audit or inspection?
ADT is prepared to assist in audits by gathering necessary documents such as pre-employment tests, proof of random pool membership, supervisor training certifications, DOT policy formation, and MIS reports.
How frequently can the employee pool be updated?
We verify updates to the employee roster quarterly. However, employers have the flexibility to add or remove covered employees ahead of selection deadlines.
