If your company operates commercial motor vehicles requiring a CDL, you must comply with DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements. This includes pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing workflows.

A TPA processes testing workflows. A consortium pools employees from multiple companies for random selection. A C/TPA supports both. US Drug Check provides full C/TPA administration with random pool and program support.

Most employers are typically operational within 48 hours once required details are received. Owner-operator setups are often completed sooner.

Yes. Mid-year transition support includes random pool migration, record transition support, and clearinghouse workflow coordination.

Pricing depends on fleet size, program scope, and selection cadence. DOT consortium programs generally use per-driver pricing. Owner-operator pricing uses a small-fleet structure. Contact us for a custom quote.

Rates vary by agency and may be updated by rulemaking. Common reference rates include FMCSA at 50 percent drug and 10 percent alcohol, FAA at 25 percent drug and 10 percent alcohol, and FTA at 50 percent drug and 25 percent alcohol.

Most employers use quarterly selections. Some prefer monthly cycles. US Drug Check supports either cadence based on program protocol.

That is statistically normal in a compliant random program because each selection is independent and every covered employee has an equal chance each cycle.

No. Excluding a covered employee from random selection would conflict with compliant equal-probability random methodology.

Testing is generally completed when the employee returns to duty. Program support includes documentation steps so exceptions are tracked correctly.

FMCSA criteria generally include fatal accidents and specific citation-plus-injury or tow scenarios. Timing references are within 2 hours for alcohol when possible and up to 32 hours for drug testing.

Call 502-968-5229. A live administrator coordinates the nearest available collection option and next-step workflow.

If DOT post-accident criteria are met, testing requirements can still apply regardless of fault determination.

Refusal is treated as a serious compliance event. Support includes documentation workflow guidance and required clearinghouse-related process steps.

It is the federal database used for DOT drug and alcohol violation records for CDL drivers, including query and reporting obligations for employers.

Yes. Clearinghouse compliance support includes query workflow coordination, reporting support, and documentation tracking. Clearinghouse query fees are billed separately.

Guidance is provided on next required steps. For new hires, safety-sensitive use cannot continue until required return-to-duty criteria are completed. For current drivers, support includes Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) coordination and return-to-duty workflow coordination.

Yes. Consent is required for applicable query workflows and must be maintained in program records.

A program administrator supports communication workflow, removal-from-duty documentation, Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) referral coordination, return-to-duty testing setup, and follow-up schedule tracking.

SAP means Substance Abuse Professional, a licensed evaluator who manages required education or treatment recommendations for return-to-duty eligibility.

US Drug Check does not employ SAP providers directly. Support includes referral coordination and return-to-duty testing workflow management.

Timing varies by SAP recommendations and completion requirements. Follow-up testing schedules generally include at least 6 tests over 12 months.

Drivers can use 20,000 plus partner collection locations nationwide, including major network partners and independent collection sites.

Billing workflows are typically invoiced after service events. Most employer programs use consolidated invoicing.

Negative results are typically reported within 24 hours of collection after MRO verification. Non-negative events can take longer due to required review workflow.

Affidavit correction workflows are handled directly with the Lab or MRO when needed to preserve documentation validity.

Yes. Records are delivered in organized formats and additional summaries can be provided to support audit response workflows.

DOT retention windows vary by record type. Common references include 5 years for positive and refusal records, 2 years for certain negative records, and 3 years for random selection documentation.

Annual obligations may include MIS reporting and related random program summaries. US Drug Check supports preparation workflows for those required reports.

Yes. Single-driver and small-fleet operations can still have DOT random and clearinghouse obligations. Program support is available for 1 to 5 truck operations.

It depends on the lease agreement. Some carriers include C/TPA services and others require owner-operators to provide their own. We can help review what is needed.

Owner-operator pricing follows a small-fleet model and is quoted per driver. Contact us for current pricing details and scope options.
