A DOT Consortium is a required DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Program for random selections and administrative compliance for companies with any employee operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle that requires a CDL in intrastate or interstate commerce. Single Owner-Operators are the only companies that must be enrolled in a DOT Consortium. Large and Small companies may choose to be enrolled but may choose to have their own random selection pools.
DOT Random Testing is NOT OPTIONAL. The First Med DOT Consortium operates under the 49 CFR Part 40 Random Selection Rates published each year.
