Who Needs to Be in a Consortium?

Any driver operating a commercial motor vehicle that requires a CDL must be enrolled in a DOT drug and alcohol testing program. This includes all Class A, B, and C CDL holders, drivers operating vehicles over 26,001 lbs, drivers of vehicles designed to transport 16 or more passengers, and drivers hauling placarded hazardous materials.

What Happens After I Order?

We enroll your company and drivers, schedule the pre-employment test for each new driver, and put your required workplace policy and certificates in your files. Through the year we run the random selections, coordinate testing, and maintain the records an auditor will ask for. Enrollment covers 12 months, with all test fees included, so there are no surprise bills when a random selection lands on your driver.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a consortium?+

A consortium pools multiple carriers together for random testing. The FMCSA requires that at least 50% of CDL drivers be randomly tested for drugs and 10% for alcohol each year. Being in a consortium ensures you meet that requirement even with a small fleet.

Do owner-operators need to be in a consortium?+

Yes. If you hold a CDL and drive your own truck, you must be enrolled in a drug and alcohol testing program, even if you're the only driver in your company.

What types of testing are required?+

Pre-employment (before starting work), random (unannounced throughout the year), post-accident (after certain crashes), reasonable suspicion (when a supervisor observes signs of impairment), return-to-duty (before returning after a violation), and follow-up (ongoing testing after a violation).

What happens if a driver fails a test?+

We notify you and the driver immediately. The driver must be removed from safety-sensitive duties and cannot return until they complete the return-to-duty process with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).

When should I enroll?+

Before your CDL driver performs any safety-sensitive work. The pre-employment test has to come back negative before a driver's first load, so enrollment belongs at the start of your operation, not after your first audit notice.

Does the consortium cover the Clearinghouse too?+

They work together but are separate requirements. The consortium runs your testing program; the Clearinghouse employer account and queries track violations federally. Auditors expect all of them in place.

Is the consortium included in your start-up packages?+

The CDL Hot-Shot and Semi-Truck start-up packages include 12 months of enrollment with testing. This standalone enrollment is for renewals, added drivers, and carriers who already have their authority.
