The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA) drug and alcohol testing rules are among the most important road safety laws in America. Alcohol testing programs make a massive difference in the safety of drivers, freight and other motorists.
But sometimes for owner-operators and small freight company startups, compliance can be difficult and expensive. DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements are stringent, yet getting the necessary testing can be prohibitively time consuming.
How can a consortium help?
By joining an alcohol testing consortium, your company will gain access to the testing programs and resources that the large fleets use, but at a much-reduced cost. When joining a drug consortium, FMCSA testing requirements can be met with much more affordability and convenience. Enroll in a consortium and find out for yourself.
How a Drug and Alcohol Consortium Can Simplify Compliance
If you ever feel lost when you look at FMCSA drug/alcohol testing regulations, you are not alone. You are on the road and keeping track of miles, freight and customer service; trying to also make sure to take random drug tests and administer alcohol testing is just more stuff to try to remember.
It’s easy to just put it off until you suddenly realize that you are no longer in compliance, and the consequences can be sobering. Fortunately, these complications are avoidable.
Service Agents Keep Track of DOT Drug and Alcohol Testing Requirements For You
When you choose to join a drug consortium, the agents ensure that you and any employees stay up to date on alcohol testing programs and random testing. It’s their job to keep up with DOT regulations, along with handling pre-employment drug and alcohol testing.
