Stay Compliant. Stay on the Road.
Join the Drug Guard Consortium
If you’re an owner-operator or small fleet, managing DOT drug and alcohol testing requirements isn’t optional, but it doesn’t have to be complicated either.
The Drug Guard Consortium is built to handle the administrative burden, regulatory complexity, and compliance risk, so you can focus on running your business.
What Is a Consortium?
A consortium is a pooled compliance program required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for employers who don’t have enough safety-sensitive employees to conduct random testing independently.
By joining Drug Guard’s consortium, you gain access to:
- Federally compliant random testing pools
- End-to-end program administration
- Audit-ready documentation and reporting
- Ongoing regulatory support
Who This Is For
This program is designed specifically for:
- Owner-operators
- Small trucking companies
- Startups entering DOT-regulated operations
If you’re subject to FMCSA drug & alcohol testing regulations, you need a consortium.

Why Small Operators Choose Drug Guard
Most providers treat consortiums as a basic add-on. We don’t.

What Happens If You Don’t Have a Consortium?

This isn’t a paperwork issue…it’s an operational risk.
