DOT & DOT Owner Operator Consortiums
Butterfield Testing Solutions’ DOT Consortium is available in all areas of the United States.
What Is A Consortium?
A consortium is a random pool of employees made of multiple, smaller companies. These companies join together to create a single entity, thus qualifying them to meet the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
Why Join A Consortium?
All companies must meet the DOT drug testing regulations found in 49 CFR Part 40. For that reason, all owner-operators must enroll in a consortium to ensure compliance. Click here to learn more about the guidelines established by the DOT.
