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.

FMCSA: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
In the state of Lexington, NC, employers governed by 49 CFR Â382.305 are obligated to uphold a compliant random testing program. Specifically, owner-operators must be part of a consortium group comprised of two or more covered employees. Within this regulatory framework:
USCG: United States Coast Guard (now under Homeland Security)
Under the regulations of 46 CFR Part 16.230, marine employers are required to execute random drug testing for individuals in safety-sensitive positions. This practice is crucial in ensuring maritime safety and compliance regardless of location, including states like Lexington, NC.
It's important to note that while alcohol testing is not required, the program still maintains rigorous standards to ensure a drug-free workplace.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Following the regulations outlined in 14 CFR Part 120, employers must incorporate all safety-sensitive duties into their testing protocols. In Lexington, NC, the aviation sector adheres to this by including rigorous testing processes that cover key safety positions to maintain operational integrity.
The Federal Railroad Administration necessitates that railroads, inclusive of those in Lexington, NC, present and adhere to an FRA-endorsed random testing plan, as outlined in Sections 49 CFR 219.601-219.609. This ensures the ongoing safety and reliability of railroad operations within the state.
| Employee Category | Drugs | Alcohol |
|---|---|---|
| Covered Service | 25% | 10% |
| Maintenance of Way / Roadway Workers | 25% | 10% |
| Mechanical | 50% | 25% |

Failing to comply with DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements can result in severe consequences for both employers and drivers, including:
What is a DOT Consortium (C/TPA) and who requires it?
A consortium C/TPA acts as a service agent to manage parts or all of an employer's drug and alcohol testing program. This includes random testing and various compliance tasks as dictated by the 49 CFR part 40 regulations.
Are random testing rates consistent, or can they vary?
The DOT's random testing percentages can fluctuate annually depending on positivity rates. Despite any changes in random testing percentages, our consortium covers all DOT random testing costs.
What occurs when selected for a random test?
ADT informs the Designated Employer Representative (DER) or Owner Operator by email or phone, providing the nearest testing location and further instructions. The employee must proceed immediately to the testing center upon receiving the notification.
What substances are screened in a DOT drug test?
A DOT drug test evaluates for a DOT 5-panel urine as well as a breath alcohol test. All these tests must utilize a Federal Custody and Control Form and Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
Can you assist during a DOT audit or inspection?
Yes, ADT is equipped to organize essential documentation, such as pre-employment test records, proof of random pool enrollment, supervisor training certificates, DOT policy formulations, and MIS reports.
How frequently can I update my employee pool?
We verify employee roster updates every quarter, although employers can add or remove covered staff at any time before the selection dates.
