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.

DOT random test percentages can vary annually according to the positivity rate. Nonetheless, within our consortium, all DOT random test expenses remain covered irrespective of the rate.
What happens when I am selected for a random test?
ADT informs the company DER or Owner Operator by email/phone, providing the nearest testing location and guidance. The chosen employee must immediately go to the testing center after being notified.
What drugs are tested on a DOT drug test?
A DOT drug test checks for substances through a DOT 5 panel urine test and a DOT breath alcohol test, ensuring all tests utilize correct Federal CCF and Federal Alcohol Testing Form documentation.
Can you help during a DOT audit or inspection?
Yes, ADT can provide organization of necessary documents such as pre-employment tests, random pool enrollment proof, supervisor training certificates, development of DOT policies, and MIS reports.

Time was running out before my Cdl got downgraded because of a violation I had on clearinghouse. I couldn't find an employer to send me for my return to duty test, but these guys had my test scheduled and done in the same day! They saved my cdl. Thank you again!
