The Department of Transportation mandates a thorough medical assessment for all commercial vehicle drivers. This examination verifies that drivers are capable of handling large vehicles safely, both physically and mentally, on public roads. Conducted by a certified medical examiner found on the National Registry, passing this exam grants a DOT medical certificate, required for a valid CDL under FMCSA rules. Call us at 800-221-4291 for assistance determining the necessary DOT physical for your agency.
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
According to 49 CFR Â382.305, employers must uphold a random testing program that meets compliance. Owner-operators in the state of Central Point, OR, along with others, are mandated to be part of a consortium pool which includes at least two covered employees. This program involves:
USCG: Operating under the United States Coast Guard Jurisdiction
Marine operators must abide by 46 CFR Part 16.230, enforcing random drug testing for those in safety-sensitive positions onboard. Central Point, OR, like other states, implements these essential protocols to enhance maritime safety.
