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?

Are random testing percentages always the same or do they change?
Answer: The DOT's random testing rate can vary annually, influenced by the positivity rate. Regardless of these changes, our consortium includes all random testing fees for DOT.
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.

Answer: The DOT drug test involves a DOT 5-panel urine test along with a DOT breath alcohol test. It is crucial to utilize a Federal CCF for these tests.
Can you help during a DOT audit or inspection?
Answer: Yes, ADT can assist by organizing essential records such as pre-employment tests, documentation of enrollment in a random pool, supervisor training certificates, developing DOT policies, and MIS reports.

Fantastic experience from the beginning. Jocelyn was very helpful to me as someone who doesn’t have much experience in needing a test. They were very helpful and walked me through the entire process start to finish. Thank you ADT!

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!
