Random Testing

Random drug testing programs, selected and documented for you

We manage the pool, generate the unannounced computerized selections, send the employees to collection sites near them, and keep the records that prove the program ran the way the regulation says it should.

  • Computerized, unannounced random selections
  • Consortium pools for owner-operators and small fleets
  • Current DOT random rates applied automatically
  • Selections spread throughout the year
  • MRO review on every non-negative
  • Audit-ready selection and completion records

DOT random testing

DOT-regulated employers must test a minimum percentage of covered employees each year, in unannounced draws, using a scientifically valid random method. We handle the mechanics.

  • Pool built and maintained as drivers are added and removed
  • Draws generated quarterly or on your schedule
  • Current FMCSA drug and alcohol rates applied
  • FMCSA, FAA, PHMSA, FRA, FTA, and USCG modes supported
  • Completion tracked so no selection quietly goes untested

Consortium pools for small operators

If you have one driver or five, your own pool does not work. A consortium combines you with other employers into a single compliant pool, which keeps your testing frequency reasonable and your program defensible. Owner-operators are required to be in one.

Non-DOT random programs

Non-regulated employers set their own rate and panel under a written policy. The value is consistency: the selection is random and documented, so nobody can argue they were singled out.

  • Rate and panel set to your policy
  • Locations and departments scoped as you define them
  • Same nationwide collection-site access

What you get when an auditor calls

The selection lists, the notification records, the chain-of-custody documents, and the MRO-reviewed results, retained and retrievable. That file is the difference between a clean audit and a finding.

Questions

Frequently asked

What are the DOT random testing rates?
FMCSA sets minimum annual random rates for drug and alcohol testing, and they can change year to year. We apply the current published rates to your pool so your selections meet the requirement without you tracking the rule changes.
How are employees selected?
Selections are generated by a computerized random number process from your covered pool, in unannounced draws spread reasonably throughout the year. Every employee has an equal chance in every draw.
What is a consortium and do I need one?
A consortium combines multiple small employers into one random pool. It is the practical option for owner-operators and small fleets, because a one-driver pool would otherwise mean testing that driver repeatedly.
Can we run random testing for non-DOT employees?
Yes. Non-regulated employers can run a random program under their own written policy, with the selection rate and panels they choose, as long as the policy is applied consistently.
What happens when someone is selected?
You receive the notification, the employee is sent to a nearby collection site, and the result posts to your account with MRO review on any non-negative. We document each step for your audit file.
