Drug & Alcohol Compliance
Carriers with CDL drivers generally need a drug and alcohol testing program that covers required testing types (pre-employment, random, post-accident, and others) and reporting to the FMCSA Clearinghouse.
You don't have to use us. You can complete this yourself by arranging your own testing program and consortium enrollment. Our fee is for preparing and filing it on your behalf.
Who typically needs this
- Carriers with drivers who operate commercial motor vehicles requiring a CDL
- New entrants setting up a testing program for the first time
- Carriers who've had gaps in their testing program

Frequently asked questions
Do owner-operators need a testing program?+
Generally yes, if you hold a CDL and operate a commercial motor vehicle — even as your own company's only driver. We'll confirm what applies to your setup.
