Random Drug & Alcohol Testing Consortium Management
A coordinated, defensible random testing program for owner-operators, small fleets, and other regulated employers who need to meet random testing requirements.
What random consortium management is
A consortium (or C/TPA-managed random pool) groups multiple employers together so that random drug and alcohol testing selections can be drawn from a combined pool of covered employees.
For regulated employers — especially owner-operators and small companies — a consortium provides a practical, compliant way to meet random testing requirements without managing the selection process internally. We administer the pool, perform scheduled random selections using an unbiased method, and coordinate the resulting testing.
Our role is to keep your random program consistent, properly documented, and aligned with applicable DOT requirements, so you have organized records if you are ever audited.
Many DOT-regulated employers with a small number of covered employees are required to participate in random testing. A consortium pools employees so selections remain statistically valid and defensible throughout the year.
Built for regulated employers of every size
If you are subject to random testing requirements, consortium management can simplify compliance.
DOT Owner-Operators
Single-driver operations that must participate in a random testing program but cannot run a statistically valid pool alone.
Small Trucking Companies
Growing fleets that need dependable random selection coordination without building an in-house compliance team.
FMCSA-Regulated Employers
CDL employers subject to FMCSA random testing rules who need a coordinated, audit-ready program throughout the year.
Random testing requirements also apply to other DOT modes and many non-regulated employer policies. Contact us to confirm what applies to your operation.
What consortium management includes
- Random selection coordination — unbiased, scheduled draws from the pool
- Testing notifications — prompt notice when an employee is selected
- Documentation support — organized records for audits and reviews
- Collection coordination — scheduling with qualified collectors
A defensible random program, managed for you
Random selection coordination
We perform scheduled random selections from the consortium pool using an unbiased, scientifically valid method, applied consistently across the selection periods.
Testing notifications
When an employee is selected, we coordinate timely notification and collection scheduling so testing is completed within the appropriate window.
Documentation support
We maintain organized records of selections and testing activity to support audits, reviews, and your overall compliance recordkeeping.
Employer responsibilities
Consortium management is a partnership. Employers remain responsible for key compliance duties.
- Maintain an accurate, current roster of covered employees in the pool
- Ensure selected employees report for testing promptly when notified
- Remove employees from safety-sensitive duties as required by applicable rules
- Maintain your written drug and alcohol testing policy
- Retain required records and provide information for audits when requested
- Comply with all applicable DOT, federal, state, and local requirements
Consortium participation supports your random testing obligations but does not transfer regulatory responsibility. Employers remain responsible for compliance with the rules that apply to their operation.
