Why is a DOT Consortium Required?

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?

ADT will inform either the company's DER or the Owner Operator by email or phone, giving details of the closest test location and related instructions. Upon receiving notification, the chosen employee must proceed to the testing site immediately.

What drugs are tested on a DOT drug test?

A DOT drug test includes a DOT 5-panel urine test and a DOT breath alcohol test. It's crucial that all tests occur using a Federal CCF and Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
