​

Why a DOT Consortium Is Required

Owner-Operators

DOT regulations require all owner-operators to participate in a consortium pool, as individuals cannot conduct random testing on themselves. Enrollment ensures compliance with federal testing requirements.

Small Employers

Companies with a limited number of safety-sensitive employees may not meet the statistical requirements for a valid random testing pool. A consortium combines multiple employers to create a compliant testing group.

Large Employers

Even organizations with established internal programs often utilize a C/TPA to reduce administrative workload, maintain accuracy, and ensure strict adherence to evolving regulations.

​

How Our DOT Consortium Works

Step 1: Enrollment

Select a 1, 2, 3, and 5-year memberships and receive your Certificate of Compliance immediately upon enrollment.

Step 2: Quarterly Random Selections

We conduct computer-generated, scientifically valid random selections each quarter in full compliance with DOT regulations.

Step 3: Immediate Notification

If selected, your DER or designated contact is notified promptly via email and phone with clear testing instructions.

Step 4: Testing & Results Management

Employees report to an assigned testing facility. TSSI coordinates all documentation, laboratory processing, and results reporting.

Step 5: MIS Reporting & Ongoing Support

We provide annual MIS reports, as well as reports upon request, ensuring your records remain audit-ready at all times.

​

Who Must Participate in a DOT Random Program

DOT regulations require participation from safety-sensitive employees across multiple industries, including:

• CDL drivers and motor carriers

• Train engineers, conductors, and dispatchers

• Airline pilots, flight crews, and mechanics

• Maritime professionals and marine employers

• Pipeline and hazardous materials personnel

• Public transit operators and maintenance teams

Our consortium is designed to support owner-operators, small businesses, and large organizations alike.
