Drug Consortium Program
Motor carriers whose drivers are required to have CDLs must have a drug and alcohol testing program.
Motor carriers operating vehicles requiring a CDL must test drivers for illegal substances and alcohol levels at various points of employment:
- Before they are hired (pre-employment screening)
- After an accident
- When there is reasonable suspicion
- At return to duty after a controlled substances or alcohol violation
- Through a random testing process either by implementing a random program or joining a consortium. Motor carriers with one driver must join a consortium.
Employers are required to keep detailed records of their alcohol misuse prevention programs and store them in a secured location for the amount of time defined in FMCSR Section 382.401, Records Retention. Motor carriers may self-administer their programs (if they are not owner-operators) or contract it out, such as to a consortium that provides drug-testing services to many carriers. Owner-operators cannot self-administer their programs, and must enroll in a consortium.
