DOT Consortium
California

FMCSA-mandated random drug & alcohol testing for CDL drivers in California, handled end-to-end — enrollment, random selection, MRO review, and Clearinghouse reporting — from $49/year per driver.

FMCSA Random Testing in California

Every DOT-regulated employer — including single-truck owner-operators — must participate in a random drug and alcohol testing program under 49 CFR Part 382. Operating without one risks fines that start at $16,000+ per violation.

California's trucking footprint: California freight moves along I-5, I-10, I-15, I-80 and I-405, anchored by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the I-5 Central Valley freight route. With logistics, agriculture, technology, and construction driving demand for CDL drivers statewide, California drivers submit medical certification to the DMV, and port drayage drivers face heavy DOT scrutiny.
