Frequently Asked...
I had a drug test violation and my Clearinghouse status is prohibited, can you help with that? We sure can! We will act as your DER (designated employee rep), basically your HR department. We will clear your prohibited status and implement your SAP's follow up testing plan...
Where can I get my testing done? We have one of the largest collection site networks across the country. We have accounts with the top 4 labs (Quest, Labcorp, CRL and Alere). This allows us to offer the most collection sites for you to choose from! This includes every Quest and Labcorp location along with many hospitals, urgent cares and local clinics. Concentra, NOVA, Arc Point, Fastest Labs, Med Express just to name a few. When you place an order, you'll simply enter your current ZIP code and we'll do the rest.
How do I know if I'm selected for random testing?
We send out emails every quarter letting you know if anyone from your company has been selected for testing.
Will you submit FMCSA Clearinghouse queries? Yes! For companies that order drug tests through us, we will submit the required data to the Clearinghouse on your behalf.

Real life examples:
What does a C/TPA (consortium/ third party admin) do for an Owner Operator Truck Driver?
As the name implies, you are both the company owner, as well as the company driver - you wear both hats. You basically need a third party to help you stay compliant with Federal regulations (FMCSA). You need a third party to tell you when you've been selected for testing, and to ensure the testing is done at a specific time. The consortium will also initiate the queries in the Clearinghouse, and report any violations. For the most part, the Consortium acts in the background and only chimes in when you need to get a drug or alcohol test done, and helping you find locations across the country were you can get these tests done. If you were the only name in the hat, you'd be tested every quarter, but if you can now throw your name into a hat with 1000 other people, it becomes a truly random selection.
What does a C/TPA do for a company with 2, 3, 4 or 40 employees?
Let's say you're a trucking company with 2, 3 or 4 drivers (maybe you started out as an owner op, but now you've added some more drivers to the mix. The consortium will help you get setup with pre employment drug testing for your new hires, anywhere in the country. They can help you obtain MVR's, and employment histories along with Clearinghouse queries, ensuring the new hires are compliant and taking that work load off your plate. They will also send random selection notices and ensure employees are tested when necessary. They will add your 2, 3 or 4 other drivers into a larger testing pool, so it's not always you, or #2 who needs to get a drug test done every 3 months.
Now let's say you're in charge of 20, 30 or 40 employees, that's a lot to keep straight! The consortium will do all that for you so you can focus on other things! You need someone tested in Texas one day and New York the next? The consortium will take care of finding those locations and setting up the orders, along with reporting the results. They can even set a custom pool size and selection criteria to match whatever structure you'd like.
