CMCI

I have had it since we were a new entrant, no problems on our end.

I think you need to look at the 4 drug and 3 alcohol tests per individual as RANDOM, meaning that you MIGHT get called. I think I averaged about two randoms per year over the last few years.

Basically this covers your legal requirement for drug and alcohol testing as an O/O, and they send you all the paperwork and reports you need to keep to stay legal.

 

I'm a one man show...so I don't know the answer to this one.

Best thing to do is call OOIDA and ask.

If you find a better deal let us know!

 

I can't remember, sorry. I want to say it was only $10 per additional driver but it's been a while. Even if it's $100 each, it's a bargain. You want your drug and alcohol testing program to be air tight when DOT does your audit, and if something unfortunate happens and your named in a lawsuit. You would be very hard pressed to legally administer a program on your own for $300 a year.

 

CMCI is OOIDA. Good for one man gig but better run and cheaper operations out there if you have several or more drivers.

 

What Bill said; if you're an OOIDA member it's $100 a year and you're covered. I switched over to them and they were extremely professional and fast getting me set up. I don't know of any other program that is much cheaper for an owner op. I used to use Foley but they were about the same price and tried to constantly sell me other "services".

 

It's $100/yr each. Paying for two right now and used to have a third. I suppose it's possible they might offer a reduced or negotiated rate if you have the headcount to justify it.

 

Plus the driver has to be a member of OOIDA.

We are using a different company that is all they do. It is a flat rate 2 or 20 drivers and then we pay for ransoms. MUCH cheaper and better run. I will ask the person in my company that does this what company we are using and post. They may have something that works for individuals.

Remember, the FMCSA doesn't care if you hired someone to do this and they mess it up. You are still on the hook for not being in compliance. So make sure who ever you use understands what the FMCSA is looking for.
