Of all the boxes a CDL operation has to keep checked, the drug & alcohol program is the one that looks handled right up until the moment it isn't — a random quarter that slid by, an annual Clearinghouse query nobody ran, a policy that can't be produced when an investigator asks.
None of that fails loudly. It fails quietly, and then all at once — in a new-entrant audit, at insurance renewal, or the day an officer runs your driver at the scale. The drug & alcohol category (Part 382, the Controlled Substances/Alcohol side of your CSA profile) is unforgiving precisely because the work is recurring and easy to defer.
So we made the deal simple: run your drug & alcohol program with us, and the platform that keeps it audit-ready is free.
The program, off your desk.
“Running your D&A with us” means we operate the moving parts that trip up small fleets — not a binder of instructions, but the program itself.
A certified random pool
Your drivers sit in an FMCSA-compliant consortium pool — the structure the rule requires for a small fleet to test randomly at all.
The selections, on the calendar
Each testing period we run the draw, notify, and coordinate collection — so the quarter never quietly passes unmet.
Clearinghouse, in cadence
Pre-employment and annual full queries on the right anniversary, with the results filed where an auditor can see them.
The paper trail
Policies, MIS-ready records, and test results kept together — the documentation that is the program, in an audit.
One consortium, one point of contact, one bill. The exact testing windows and query mechanics are a rules question — and we keep on top of them so you don't have to.
Essential, included.
Because the program runs in the portal, you get the portal. Every D&A customer gets a free Essential workspace — the same place your random pool, Clearinghouse cadence, and the renewals that ride alongside (UCR, MCS-150, IFTA) live as one dated, audit-ready ledger.
◆ Free with your D&A program
For a safety manager, that's the difference between hoping the quarter got run and seeing that it did — and being able to prove it later. When you outgrow Essential, Pro adds Clearinghouse query management, Driver Qualifications, Driver Onboarding, an Accident Register, and AI-based document processing. No pressure; start with what's free.
You have to run a drug & alcohol program regardless. Run it somewhere that hands you the workspace to keep the rest of your compliance straight, too — at no extra cost. Not a member of our consortium? That's where to start.
Your program, handled. Your platform, free.
Join our FMCSA-compliant consortium or order DOT drug testing, and your Essential workspace comes with it — the audit-ready ledger for your random pool, Clearinghouse cadence, and the renewals around them.
