FleetCollect, a trucking-compliance software platform, has launched on-demand DOT drug and alcohol tests for $60 per test and a nationwide FMCSA random-testing consortium for $8 per driver a month, available in all 50 U.S. states. The services aim to simplify compliance for owner-operators and small fleets by consolidating ordering, specimen collection, laboratory analysis, and Medical Review Officer (MRO) review into a single account.
For most small carriers, DOT testing involves fragmented purchases: ordering a pre-employment test requires contacting a collection site, arranging a lab, and finding an MRO separately. Joining a random-testing pool often means comparing consortium administrators with opaque pricing and selection practices. Under 49 CFR Part 382, CDL drivers must participate in a DOT drug and alcohol testing program, and owner-operators who drive their own trucks must join a consortium for random testing. FleetCollect's launch addresses both needs without forcing carriers into unnecessary memberships.
Carriers can order a single DOT drug test for $60, no program required. Whether for pre-employment, post-accident, or other one-off tests, FleetCollect schedules collection at a nearby site in a national network of over 19,000 locations, routes the specimen for laboratory analysis, and delivers MRO-verified results. No enrollment, subscription, or consortium membership is needed for a single test.
For ongoing random-testing requirements, FleetCollect operates a DOT drug and alcohol testing consortium priced at $8 per driver a month for single-truck operators, or $80 per driver a year, with per-driver pricing dropping to as low as $2 a month for larger fleets. Enrolled drivers are selected for unannounced testing at FMCSA minimum annual rates of 50 percent for drugs and 10 percent for alcohol. When selected, drivers receive a text with a pass to a nearby collection site, and carriers are notified with documentation for audit purposes.
Both offerings utilize a national network of more than 19,000 collection sites and SAMHSA-certified laboratories, with every result reviewed by an MRO. Consortium members also receive Designated Employer Representative (DER) sign-off support. Additionally, FleetCollect is registered with the FMCSA Clearinghouse as a C/TPA, and the consortium includes FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse queries—pre-employment and annual checks carriers must run on CDL drivers.
"Most owner-operators don't wake up wanting a consortium—they wake up needing a test," said Herman Armstrong, founder of FleetCollect. "So we built testing the way a small carrier actually buys it: order the single test you need today, and if you're required to be in a random pool, the consortium is right there on the same account. Either way, collection, lab, and MRO review are handled."
On-demand DOT testing at $60 per test and consortium enrollment from $8 per driver a month are available now. The testing products join FleetCollect's existing compliance tools, including IFTA fuel tax tracking via its iPhone app and DOT Driver Qualification File (DQF) management under 49 CFR Part 391. Carriers can order a test or enroll at FleetCollect.
