FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is a drug testing consortium?
A drug testing consortium is a group managed by a Third Party Administrator (TPA) that handles random drug and alcohol testing for multiple DOT-regulated employers and owner-operators. By joining a drug testing consortium, you fulfill your FMCSA random testing requirement without setting up and managing a standalone testing program.
Q: How much does a drug testing consortium cost?
Enrollment in the Vertical Identity drug testing consortium is $85/year. This covers your annual membership, random testing pool management, and access to our nationwide collection site network.
Q: Is a drug testing consortium required by DOT?
FMCSA regulations require all CDL drivers operating under their own DOT authority — including owner-operators and small carriers — to participate in a random drug and alcohol testing program. Joining a drug testing consortium is the most cost-effective way to satisfy this requirement.
Q: How do I join a drug testing consortium?
Enrollment is completed same-day in most cases. After submitting your enrollment form and payment, you will receive your confirmation and drug testing consortium membership documentation within minutes.
Q: What does drug testing consortium membership include?
Your membership includes enrollment in a FMCSA-compliant random testing pool, random selection notifications, access to collection sites nationwide, annual MIS reporting support, and dedicated compliance assistance from the Vertical Identity team.
Q: What happens when I am selected for a random drug test?
When you are randomly selected, Vertical Identity will notify you with instructions to visit an authorized collection site within the required timeframe. Tests are typically 5-panel DOT urine screens, and results are reported to your Designated Employer Representative (DER).

DRUG TESTING:WHATS INCLUDED?
Nationwide DOT Drug Screens
Our DOT drug testing can be scheduled in all 50 states, close to your zip code. Get our member pricing of just $59 per test, which includes collection, lab fees, MRO services, and reporting.
Random Drug Testing
50% of the random pool will be drug tested according to FMCSA regulations. When called for a random drug test, we schedule you where you are. That means, if you are 1500 miles away from home, we schedule you at one of our network clinics where you’re located with your load.
Medical Review Officer
All drug testing results are reviewed by a medical review officer. In the case of a non-negative drug test, if you are on prescription medication, the medical review officer (MRO) will call you to discuss your prescription, free of charge.
DOT Compliant Alcohol Screens
10% of the random pool will also be randomly selected for a Breath Alcohol Screen in addition to the drug test. Breath Alcohol Tests are not required for pre-employment screening but are required for randomly selected testing, reasonable suspicion, and post-accident testing.
