RANDOM CONSORTIUM

A Random Drug Testing Consortium, as defined by FMCSR 382, is a collaborative program designed to help motor carriers comply with federal regulations for drug and alcohol testing. This consortium compiles multiple employers, allowing them to meet the minimum testing rates set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). By participating in a consortium, carriers ensure that their drivers are randomly selected for testing within their closest zip code location, maintaining the integrity and randomness required by law. This approach simplifies the administrative burden for individual commercial carriers and enhances safety across the transportation industry. Joining a consortium ensures that all drivers comply with FMCSA drug and alcohol testing requirements.

U.S. DOT Random Testing Program

49 CFR 382
Hoffenmer Random Consortium Program


A Federal Applications Processor Hoffenmer Random Drug and Alcohol Testing Consortium is a structured program to facilitate compliance with federal regulations set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It serves motor carriers and commercial drivers by pooling multiple employers, creating a larger selection pool for random drug and alcohol testing. This consortium ensures that all participating drivers are being tested in a manner that adheres to FMCSA guidelines, maintaining safety and compliance within the transportation industry.

The consortium operates by randomly selecting drivers from the pooled group, which helps maintain the integrity and unpredictability of the testing process. This method is particularly beneficial for small—to medium-sized carriers who might struggle to meet the required testing rates independently. By joining a consortium, these carriers can share the administrative responsibilities and costs associated with drug and alcohol testing, ensuring that they remain compliant with federal regulations without bearing the entire burden alone.

Participation in a consortium is essential for motor carriers operating under the jurisdiction of the FMCSA, which mandates random drug and alcohol testing to enhance road safety. The program is typically managed by third-party administrators knowledgeable about FMCSA regulations and ensures that applicable testing is conducted correctly. These administrators handle the logistics of selecting drivers, coordinating tests, and maintaining records, allowing carriers to focus on their core operations while remaining compliant.

Joining a Random Drug and Alcohol Testing Consortium is a proactive step for motor carriers committed to safety and regulatory compliance. It ensures that all drivers, regardless of the size of the motor carrier they work for, are subject to the same rigorous testing standards. This helps prevent substance abuse issues within the industry and promotes a culture of safety and responsibility. By adhering to FMCSA requirements through consortium participation, carriers demonstrate their dedication to maintaining a safe and reliable transportation system. Enroll in Random Consortium
