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.

Included With Membership
Percentages are set by each DOT agency and may change.
FMCSA: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
Under the guidelines of 49 CFR 382.305, companies must implement a random testing program that complies with federal standards. Owner-operators in Wyoming are required to join a consortium pool consisting of two or more covered employees.
USCG- United States Coast Guard (now under homeland security)
Marine employers, in keeping with 46 CFR Part 16.230, are required to conduct random drug testing for all safety-sensitive crew members. This applies equally to marine sectors operating in Wyoming.
FAA- Federal Aviation Administration
Employers must comply with 14 CFR Part 120 to include all functions that are safety-sensitive. This directive includes companies based in Wyoming and mandates comprehensive testing protocols.
Railroads are mandated to draft and adhere to an FRA-approved random testing plan as outlined in 49 CFR 219.601-219.609. This is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance throughout all rail operations, including those within Wyoming's borders.

| Maintenance of Way / Roadway Workers | 25% | 10% |
| Mechanical | 50% | 25% |
Employers governed by 49 CFR Part 655 are obligated to utilize scientifically valid selection methods for testing. This ensures a higher level of safety and compliance, notably impacting public transportation systems in locations such as Wyoming.
Operators subject to Parts 192, 193, or 195 are required to test covered employees as specified in 49 CFR Part 199. This regulation ensures pipeline safety and helps maintain stringent security standards across states, including Wyoming.

What is a DOT Consortium (C/TPA) and who is it for?
A consortium C/TPA acts as a service agent that oversees parts or all of an employer’s drug and alcohol testing program, managing random testing pools and compliance based on 49 CFR part 40.
Do random testing percentages fluctuate or remain static?
The DOT may adjust random testing rates annually depending on positivity rates. Within our consortium, all DOT random testing costs are covered, regardless of the percentage.
What occurs if I am chosen for random testing?
ADT contacts the company DER or owner-operator by email or phone, providing the nearest testing location and guidelines. Once notified, the selected employee must swiftly head to the testing center.
What substances are checked in a DOT drug test?
A DOT drug test evaluates a DOT 5-panel urine and involves a DOT breath alcohol test. Ensure tests utilize a Federal CCF and a Federal Alcohol Testing Form.
Can assistance be provided during a DOT audit or inspection?
Yes, ADT arranges necessary documentation, such as pre-employment tests, random pool enrollment proof, supervisor training certificates, DOT policy creation, and MIS reports.
How frequently can I update my employee pool?
Employee list updates are confirmed every quarter. Employers may modify covered employees anytime before selection dates.
