Everything carriers ask us about FMCSA/DOT compliance.
It’s a pool managed by a third-party administrator (C/TPA) that places your drivers into a shared random-testing pool, as required by US FMCSA/DOT regulations. Profirm acts as your consortium and runs the whole program.
If you or your drivers operate a commercial vehicle requiring a CDL into the US, yes. As soon as you have a USDOT number, a drug & alcohol testing program — including consortium enrollment — is a prerequisite: without it you fail the FMCSA new-entrant safety audit. Even a single owner-operator must belong to a consortium for random testing.
The FMCSA currently requires an annual rate of 50% for drugs and 10% for alcohol, based on the number of drivers in the pool.
It’s a US federal database that records commercial drivers’ drug and alcohol violations. As your C/TPA, Profirm performs the annual and pre-employment queries and reports violations there.
Pricing depends mainly on the number of drivers. Request a free quote — we give you a clear price, no obligation.
FMCSA penalties can reach $16,000 USD per violation, and the carrier is responsible. That’s exactly why we run the program from A to Z for you.
FMCSA/DOT requirements target carriers operating into the US. If you drive there, even occasionally, they apply. Contact us and we’ll confirm your situation.
