What is a consortium?

 Consortium:

A consortium is a partnership of two or more organizations to establish their own official randomized drug testing programmed. To see if your organization is eligible, please contact our office.

DOT Random Drug Testing Consortium:

Our DOT Consortium offers random DOT drug and alcohol testing structures. The consortium acts as a "Third Party Administrator (TPA)" for members.

Read on for more details about our DOT drug testing alliance services, or call us for information on joining the alliance.



Example of a Drug Testing Consortium:

A trucking company with only two or three drivers has a hard time implementing a successful random drug testing program. Instead, they can join a consortium where their drivers' names are merged with the names of other drivers from other companies. The random name generator then selects a driver from this pool. This more completely randomized their drug testing program.

Drug consortium: The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires drug and alcohol testing for motor carriers. This is critical to ensuring that drivers can safely operate commercial motor vehicles. Whether a company has thousands of drivers or just one owner-operator, it must have a drug and alcohol testing program in place to stay compliant and avoid hefty fines.  The DOT Consortium Drug is an association of several different companies that form a larger testing pool. This is required for owner operators or small companies, and even larger vehicle operators can benefit from partnering with third parties to provide DOT compliance services.
