A DOT physical exam is an in-depth health evaluation mandated by the Department of Transportation for all commercial motor vehicle operators. This test ascertains the physical, mental, and emotional wellness required for safe operation of large vehicles on roads open to the public. Only certified medical examiners listed on the National Registry administer the DOT physical. Successful completion awards a DOT medical certificate, necessary for maintaining a valid CDL per FMCSA rules. For guidance on which DOT physical applies, particularly if you're in another DOT-regulated sector, give us a call 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.

What constitutes a DOT Consortium (C/TPA) and who requires it?

Answer: The DOT's random testing rates may shift annually based on positivity rates. However, in our consortium, regardless of the variation in testing rates, all DOT random testing fees are covered.
