Everything You Need to Stay Compliant (Without the Headaches)

Random Pools That Are Actually Random (And Audit-Proof)

Participant rosters are verified before every pull. Selections follow compliant methodology and include analysis reports so DERs can track percentages and stay prepared.

FMCSA Clearinghouse Compliance Without the Confusion

Support includes pre-employment queries, annual queries, documentation coordination, and violation reporting workflows so requirements are handled consistently. Query fees are billed separately.

Post-accident and reasonable suspicion coordination is available 24/7, including alternate site coordination when needed to support DOT-required timeframes.

Medical Review Officer Verification and Positive Result Support

Results are verified by MRO workflows. If a result is positive, a program administrator guides communication steps, SAP referral setup, return-to-duty, and follow-up scheduling.

Audit-Ready Records Delivered Same Day

Results are reported same day after MRO verification, typically within 24 hours of collection. Packets include MRO report, CCF, and required affidavits organized for filing.

From Setup to Ongoing Compliance

A clear, numbered process from setup through ongoing compliance support.

  1. Initial Setup (Typically 48 Hours)

    We collect your participant list, set up random pools, coordinate Clearinghouse onboarding support, and assign your dedicated administrator.

  2. Random Selection (Quarterly or Monthly)

    Before each pull, roster accuracy is verified with your team. We run the selection and provide notification letters and collection site instructions.

  3. Testing and Results

    Drivers use one of 20,000+ partner collection sites nationwide. Negative results are typically reported same day after MRO verification. Positive workflows include direct administrator support.

  4. Annual Reporting

    Support includes preparation workflows for DOT-required annual reporting such as MIS summaries, random program reporting, and Clearinghouse-related documentation.

Common Questions About DOT Consortium Services

What's the difference between a C/TPA and a consortium?

A Third-Party Administrator processes testing administration tasks. A consortium pools employees from multiple employers for random selection. A C/TPA supports both functions in one program workflow.

Can I join mid-year or do I have to wait?

You can join anytime. Mid-year onboarding is supported, including participant list setup, random schedule integration, and documentation transition.

What if my driver tests positive?

A program administrator supports each step, including communication workflow support, required DOT forms, SAP referral coordination, return-to-duty setup, and follow-up scheduling.

Do you handle pre-employment testing too?

Yes. Program support includes pre-employment test coordination, Clearinghouse pre-employment query workflows, and reporting after MRO verification. Clearinghouse query fees are billed separately.

What happens if I get audited by FMCSA?

Records are delivered in organized packets with MRO report, CCF, and required affidavits. Additional reporting summaries can be provided to support audit readiness.
