DOT Consortium Launches Return-to-Duty and Follow-Up Testing Packages

In an effort to improve compliance management in the trucking industry, DOT Consortium, powered by Trucking Hub, has recently introduced its return-to-duty (RTD) and follow-up testing packages. This initiative aims to enhance their comprehensive online platform, which facilitates the management of DOT drug and alcohol testing, random testing programs, and FMCSA Clearinghouse requirements.

The new packages enable seamless enrollment and management of testing processes via their platform, DOTConsortium.com. Users can easily navigate the system to enroll online, order tests, locate collection sites, monitor testing progress, and access their compliance records, all from a single interface. This convenience is greatly supported by the platform's connection to more than 24,000 collection sites across the United States, as well as integrations with major laboratories such as Quest Diagnostics and Clinical Reference Laboratory (CRL).

Overview of New Testing Packages

The recently introduced testing packages are designed to support key phases in the return-to-duty process:

• - Step 5 Package – $199: This package features a directly observed DOT return-to-duty drug test along with reporting to the FMCSA Clearinghouse, post-approval from a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).
• - Step 6 Package – $249: This option encompasses a comprehensive follow-up plan review by an SAP, program setup, coordination of unannounced testing, as well as 12 months of administration. It also incorporates the first directly observed follow-up drug test, with additional tests priced at $100 each.

For employers and owner-operators looking to prepay for six follow-up drug tests, a special promotional code, FREETEST, can be utilized at checkout to save $100.

Beyond these specific packages, DOT Consortium continues to provide a variety of additional services, including consortium and company-specific random testing pools, pre-employment screening, Clearinghouse queries and reporting, personalized drug and alcohol policies, and instant enrollment certificates. The platform's bilingual capabilities, available in both English and Spanish, further enrich its accessibility to a broader client base.

The annual consortium enrollment fee starts at $149, extending to $299 for a three-year subscription, with unlimited drivers included. Standard DOT drug and alcohol tests are competitively priced at $60 each, while observed drug testing incurs separate fees.

Easy Access to Compliance Tools

The enhancements brought forth by DOT Consortium are notable achievements in simplifying DOT compliance for both employers and owner-operators. By integrating advanced technology and a user-friendly online interface, the platform empowers users to stay compliant with ease, reducing the complexities often associated with drug and alcohol testing.
