A comprehensive health exam mandated by the Department of Transportation is essential for every commercial motor vehicle operator. This assessment verifies that drivers are physically, mentally, and emotionally capable of handling large trucks or buses on highways. Conducted by a medical examiner certified and listed on the NRCME, passing this exam awards a DOT medical certificate. For DOT agency queries on required exams, contact us at 800-221-4291.
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.
