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?
Answer: A consortium c/TPA acts as a service agent that manages some or all of an employer's drug and alcohol testing program, covering the management of random testing pools and ensuring compliance as outlined in 49 CFR part 40.
Are random testing percentages always the same or do they change?
Answer: DOT random testing rates can vary annually depending on the positivity rate; however, within our consortium, all random testing fees are inclusive, regardless of the rate.
What happens when I am selected for a random test?
