Wisconsin Drug Testing Consortium is a Certified Third Party Administrator (C-TPA) and specializes in DOT consortium management for owner-operators and smaller employers. Consortiums combine these smaller groups into a larger number, enabling appropriate-sized employers to more easily meet random DOT drug test requirements.
DOT testing rules specify that 50 percent of your covered employees must undergo random drug tests and 10 percent must take part in random alcohol tests every calendar year. The statistical power of a consortium typically reduces that figure for owner-operators and participating employers.
We often recommend that employers consider transitioning to their own testing program once they reach 10 or more employees in the testing pool. This move ensures testing of a significant percentage of employees every year so as not to impact overall safety.
