Random Drug and Alcohol Consortium

 

The Department of Transportation (USDOT) requires all companies with CDL drivers to be enrolled in a random consortium if their GVW is over 26,000 lbs. or if they are operating a passenger vehicle that can transport 15 or more passengers.  Random testing is an important component of the USDOT’s effort to keep unsafe drivers off the road.

 

Our consortium is simply a group of trucking companies whose drivers are put into a pool for random drug and alcohol screening.  Each year 50% of the drivers are randomly tested for drugs and 10% are randomly tested for alcohol, as required by the USDOT regulations.

 

Trucking companies that are not in compliance with the USDOT random testing requirements can receive fines of several thousand dollars and will automatically fail the “new entrant safety audit”.

 

DOT Consortium USA, Inc. can provide your company with everything you need to stay in compliance with the USDOT Random Drug and Alcohol requirements, and keep your operating authority active.
