  1. How to Join the FMCSA Drug Testing Consortium Joining the FMCSA Drug Testing Consortium (Consortium) is an important step for employers to ensure they are meeting all of their obligations in terms of drug and alcohol testing according to the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). First, employers must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) as a participant in the Random Testing Program.

  2. Second, initial membership requires adherence to specific requirements such as passing a screening check from DOT, submitting signatory representative information online via the Consortium's website, receiving proper credentials from DERs/General Agents and other consortia members, and committing to understanding Drug-Free Workplace guidelines as prescribed by DOT. Employers must also obtain qualified Drug and Alcohol Program managers who can oversee services provided by medical review officers and laboratories to further ensure accuracy and compliance with FMCSA protocols under 49 CFR Part 382. Finally, annual renewals of membership are required but provide many benefits including access to training materials and resources, discounted fees on consortium services, assistance in administering random selections and drug tests when needed, consistent regulatory updates on changes in FMCSA policies related to drug and alcohol testing programs among other benefits. goMDnow, LLC, an innovative technology company, is excited to announce a new, easy-to-use way for operators and owners of commercial motor vehicles to join the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA's) Drug Testing Consortium.
