C/TPA & consortium · Louisville, KY
DOT Consortium & TPA Services in Louisville, KY
Louisville is home to UPS Worldport, the company's global air hub, and sits along I-64, I-65, and I-71, putting it at the center of Kentuckiana's trucking and air-ground transfer network. Carriers moving freight between Worldport, regional distribution centers, and the Ohio River crossing into Indiana need a DOT Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse program built for high-volume, time-critical dispatch.
What is a DOT consortium / C/TPA?
A DOT consortium pools multiple employers into a single random testing selection pool, meeting the 49 CFR Part 40 requirement for a program statistically capable of producing valid random selections. As your Consortium/Third-Party Administrator, we manage random selection and notification, scheduled and post-accident collections, Clearinghouse queries, MRO review, and recordkeeping.
Why it matters in Louisville
Louisville's freight economy runs on the ground-to-air handoff around Worldport, where drayage and cartage carriers move trailers on tight windows tied to overnight sort cycles, plus a steady stream of cross-river carriers running between Louisville and Southern Indiana on I-65. That mix of overnight-sensitive dispatch and interstate crossing is exactly where a missed Clearinghouse query or an unscheduled random notification can cascade into a delayed load, so our program is built to keep selection and scheduling moving even on compressed timelines.
Pricing
Consortium enrollment is priced by fleet size: $99 for 1 driver, $199 for 2-5 drivers, $349 for 6-15 drivers, $499 for 16-25 drivers, and $749 for 26-50 drivers. Fleets above 50 drivers receive a custom quote.
Get Me CompliantFrequently asked questions
Can you handle testing for drivers who cross between Kentucky and Indiana regularly?
Yes, DOT Clearinghouse and random testing requirements are federal and apply the same way regardless of which state a driver is physically tested in, so a carrier running drivers across the Ohio River between Louisville and Southern Indiana is fully covered under one consortium program.
How does random selection work for drivers tied to overnight Worldport shifts?
Random selections are still unannounced and statistically random, but we coordinate collection scheduling with sites that can accommodate overnight and early-morning drivers so a selected driver isn't pulled off an active sort-cycle dispatch for hours.
What's the annual random testing rate we need to hit?
FMCSA sets the required annual random testing percentage each year for both drug and alcohol testing, and our program is built to make sure your pool's selections meet or exceed that rate across the full enrollment year.
Do owner-operators leased to a Louisville-based carrier need their own consortium?
No, an owner-operator can be enrolled in the same consortium pool as the carrier's other drivers as long as they're performing safety-sensitive functions under that carrier's DOT operating authority.
