One program for a nationwide workforce
Consolidate Drivers Across the Nation Into One DOT Consortium
Managing drivers in multiple cities or states should not require multiple testing programs. CDL Inquiry Corp brings eligible drivers together under one nationwide consortium structure, giving employers and owner-operators a simpler way to coordinate DOT random drug and alcohol testing.
There is no minimum or maximum driver count. We can support a single owner-operator, a small company adding its first drivers, a growing regional fleet, or an employer managing a large national driver population. The same clear $110 annual price applies per enrolled driver.
- One centralized consortium for drivers located in different states
- Scalable administration for one driver or a large workforce
- Nationwide testing access for mobile and remote employees
- Consistent enrollment and random-testing coordination
Built to Scale With Your Company
Use the same nationwide program as your company grows, hires in new states, or adds additional locations.
Owner-Operator
Simple annual consortium enrollment for a single covered driver.
Growing Fleet
Add drivers as hiring needs change without opening a separate program.
Large Employer
Coordinate a nationwide driver population through one provider.

DOT consortium cost and pricing
How Much Does a DOT Consortium Cost?
DOT consortium cost depends on what the advertised price actually includes. Some providers separate the enrollment fee, membership fee, signup fee, and required testing charges. CDL Inquiry Corp charges one flat $110 annual program price per driver for the services included in the program, with $0 separate enrollment fee, $0 separate membership fee, and $0 signup fee.
What is the cheapest DOT consortium for an owner-operator?
Owner-operators looking for a cheap or low-cost DOT consortium should compare the total annual bill, not only the advertised enrollment or membership fee. CDL Inquiry's $110 annual program includes consortium participation, one pre-employment DOT drug test, and required random DOT drug and alcohol testing during the active enrollment year.
Lowest membership fee vs. lowest total cost
CDL Inquiry charges $0 as a separate DOT consortium membership fee, $0 as a separate enrollment fee, and $0 as a signup fee. The actual annual program price is $110 per driver. This makes it easier to compare the real DOT consortium cost without adding several separate charges together.
DOT consortium pricing with testing included
The $110 annual price includes the enrolled driver's pre-employment DOT drug test and all required random drug and alcohol tests during the active enrollment year. Instead of advertising one price to join and separate prices for the testing included in the program, CDL Inquiry publishes one annual rate.
Support for national hiring and remote drivers
Companies increasingly hire drivers in different cities and states. A nationwide collection-site network helps employers coordinate testing without forcing every driver to visit one local office. Whether your drivers report to one terminal or operate from many locations, CDL Inquiry Corp can consolidate the driver population under one nationwide consortium and help direct testing to an available collection site.
A clearer onboarding process after enrollment
After signup, customers receive the pre-employment drug test form or authorization information, an enrollment certificate, and instructions for designating CDL Inquiry Corp as the company's C/TPA in the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. Providing these items together creates a clearer path from purchase to testing and program setup.
