Consortium And Random Testing

Image
Drug testing consortiums are often random testing pools made up of multiple employers. Each employer-member of the consortium adds its employees to the pool. A random selection of drugs and alcohol is made from all members of the pool. Owner-operators regulated by any Department of Transportation (DOT) agency must be in the consortium's random testing pool . An independent random pool is just an employer. This usually applies to large companies with more than 20 employees. There is no minimum or maximum number of independent or shared random test pools. The only requirement is that the owner operator must be in a federation pool. goMDnow manages independent pools and consortiums for DOT regulated and non-DOT regulated employers.

The DOT test, often referred to as the 5-panel test, includes marijuana (THC), cocaine, phencyclidine (PCP), amphetamines, and the recently expanded list of opioids.
