    Hey guys, I'm company driver. just purchased a tractor and not hired a driver yet.
    I'm already getting drug testing with the company i'm driving for.
    Do i need to join a drug testing consortium if i did not hire any driver for my truck yet ?
    or do i need to join one even if im already being tested in my company?

    You seem to have your own #s ,so you need your own drug testing program Being covered under a dot drug testing program now just gets you off of doing a pre employment test.

    And you as the owner need to be in the program or you can't drive your own truck.

    It's around $150 to enroll which includes cost of two randoms that year. They'll send you Custody and Control Forms needed to give testing site. What I like about New Era is they have thousands of testing sites, both local near your company, and throughout the lower 48 should you get selected while OTR.
     
    PALOU Thanks this.

    Ooida use to be $100 per year. That was a while ago though. I'm sure inflation has hit by now
