Austin, TX · DOT Random Testing Consortium (C/TPA)

DOT Consortium
Austin, TX

FMCSA-mandated random drug & alcohol testing for CDL drivers based in Austin — enrollment, quarterly random selection, MRO review, and Clearinghouse reporting, handled end-to-end by WorkOccMed as your Consortium/Third-Party Administrator (C/TPA), from $49/year per driver.

FMCSA Random Testing for Austin Fleets

Every DOT-regulated employer — including single-truck owner-operators dispatching out of Austin — must participate in a random drug and alcohol testing program under 49 CFR Part 382, administered through a Consortium/Third-Party Administrator (C/TPA). Operating without one risks fines that start at $16,000+ per violation.

Austin's trucking footprint: Texas freight moves along I-35, I-10, I-45, I-20 and I-30, anchored by the I-35 NAFTA corridor, the Ports of Houston and Laredo, and the nation’s largest network of truck freight. With energy, logistics, construction, and manufacturing driving demand for CDL drivers around Austin, Texas CDL drivers submit their Medical Examiner’s Certificate to the DPS/DMV to stay certified.
