Third Party Administrators (TPA) & Consortium Services for DOT SAP Return to Duty Programs

This video explains why it is beneficial to have a TPA/Consortium if you are an independent self-employed Truck Driver in the Follow-Up Testing Return to Duty SAP Program. What Are Consortium/Third-Party Administrators? According to FMSCA DOT, Consortium/Third-Party Administrators (C/TPAs) manage all, or part, of an employer's DOT drug and alcohol testing program, sometimes including maintaining required testing records. They perform tasks as agreed to by the employer to assist in implementing the drug and alcohol testing program and to help keep the employer compliant with the DOT/FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Testing rules and regulations. A consortium will often manage the DOT random testing programs of several employers, including those of owner-operators who are not permitted to manage random testing themselves. Consortiums that manage owner-operator programs play a very unique service agent role. While §40.355(k) prohibits service agents from serving as "designated employer representatives" (DER), the consortium is authorized to perform a number of employer functions in cases of owner-operators, and single driver employers.
