The basics

What is a DOT consortium?

A DOT consortium is a program run by a Consortium/Third-Party Administrator (C/TPA) that combines multiple drivers into one random testing pool. The FMCSA requires safety-sensitive drivers to be part of a compliant random drug and alcohol testing program. Instead of managing that alone, a consortium handles the random selections, coordinates testing at certified collection sites, verifies results through a Medical Review Officer, and keeps the records you need for a DOT audit.

Who it’s for

Who needs to join a DOT consortium?

If you hold a CDL and operate under DOT/FMCSA authority, you almost certainly need to be enrolled.

Owner-operators

You can’t randomly test yourself, so a consortium is required to meet the rule.

Small & mid-size carriers

Pooling drivers is simpler and cheaper than an in-house program.

New authorities

Enrollment is part of getting compliant when you activate your authority.

Other DOT operators

Businesses under PHMSA, FTA, or other DOT-agency testing rules.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a DOT consortium?
A DOT consortium is a group that pools drivers into one random drug and alcohol testing program managed by a C/TPA, so members meet FMCSA testing requirements without running their own pool.
Do I legally need to join a consortium?
If you’re an owner-operator or carrier with FMCSA authority and safety-sensitive drivers, yes — federal rules require enrollment in a compliant random testing program.
How much does a DOT consortium cost?
Excel Screen is $89.99 per year for unlimited drivers, with DOT drug and alcohol tests at $75 each when you’re selected.
How fast can I get my certificate?
You enroll online and receive your compliance certificate the same day.
How often will I be randomly tested?
The FMCSA sets minimum annual random rates each year (recently 50% for drugs and 10% for alcohol). Selections are random, so timing varies.
