C/TPA & consortium · Memphis, TN
DOT Consortium & TPA Services in Memphis, TN
Memphis is home to the FedEx World Hub and sits at the intersection of I-40, I-55, and I-69, making it one of the highest-density freight and logistics markets in the country. Trucking companies, drayage operators, and warehousing fleets supporting Memphis's air cargo and distribution ecosystem need a DOT Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse program that can scale with contract and seasonal driver volume.
What is a DOT consortium / C/TPA?
A DOT consortium combines multiple employers into one random testing selection pool, satisfying the 49 CFR Part 40 requirement for a statistically valid random testing program. As your Consortium/Third-Party Administrator, we handle random selection and notification, scheduled and unscheduled collections, Clearinghouse queries, MRO review, and the recordkeeping your program is audited against.
Why it matters in Memphis
Memphis's logistics base runs on overnight and early-morning cargo cycles tied to the FedEx hub's sort schedule, and a large share of local drayage and cartage carriers run drivers on tight turnaround windows between the airport, rail intermodal yards, and distribution centers along the Lamar and Winchester corridors. A consortium program built around that rhythm means random selections and collection scheduling can work around overnight shifts rather than assuming a standard daytime dispatch window.
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 testing be scheduled around overnight or early-morning cargo shifts?
Yes, we coordinate with collection sites that accommodate the overnight and early-morning schedules common among Memphis's air cargo and drayage drivers, so a random selection doesn't force a driver to break shift in the middle of a cargo cycle.
What records do I need to keep as the employer even though you administer the program?
You're still required to retain your written DOT policy, supervisor training records, and any test results and MRO verifications related to your drivers. We maintain the testing and Clearinghouse records on our end and can provide copies for your files whenever you need them for an audit.
Do contract or leased drivers running under our authority need to be in our pool?
Any driver performing safety-sensitive functions under your DOT operating authority needs to be in a compliant random testing pool, whether they're a direct employee or an owner-operator leased to your authority, so they should be enrolled through your consortium.
How do post-accident testing requirements work for a Memphis-based fleet?
Federal post-accident testing rules are based on the type of accident (fatality, injury requiring transport, or disabling damage) and whether citations were issued, not on location, so the same 49 CFR Part 40 criteria apply whether the accident happens on I-40 locally or on a route out of state.
