Initial Setup (Typically 48 Hours)

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.
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.
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.
