DOT physicals are thorough medical exams mandated by the Department of Transportation for commercial motor vehicle drivers. They ensure that drivers are fit physically, mentally, and emotionally to handle large vehicles on the roads. Certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry conduct these exams. Successful candidates earn a DOT medical certificate to keep a CDL license valid, as required by FMCSA. For help with DOT physical requirements, 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.

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 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?
Answer: ADT will contact the designated employer representative (DER) or Owner Operator via email or phone to provide the nearest testing location and testing instructions. The notified employee must promptly head to the specified testing site upon notification.
What drugs are tested on a DOT drug test?
Answer: A DOT drug test assesses a DOT 5-panel urine sample and a DOT breath alcohol test. Ensure that all tests utilize a Federal Custody and Control Form (CCF) and Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
Can you help during a DOT audit or inspection?
Answer: Yes, ADT is equipped to assist during audits or inspections by organizing essential documentation, such as pre-employment testing records, evidence of random pool enrollment, supervisor training certifications, DOT policy creation, and MIS reports.
How often can I update my employee pool?
Answer: We update employee rosters quarterly, allowing employers to add or remove covered employees anytime before selection dates.
