Upon receipt of this application, and credit card payment of the annual membership fee of $200 and a $50 fee for Drug Free Business to provide the required Clearinghouse services for owner-operators, we will initiate the setup of your account and services. Mandatory use of the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse begins January 6th, 2020. As an owner-operator, you are required to employ the services of a Consortium/Third-Party Administrator (CTPA). We charge a $50.00 Clearinghouse fee per year to cover these employer reporting requirements. You must also be registered as a Driver at the Clearinghouse before account setup can be completed. We may contact you to obtain additional information, e.g. collection site preferences, etc.
All new members will receive a Drug Free Business welcome email, which includes a sample policy and additional materials to help you create your drug-free workplace and/or stay in compliance with DOT testing regulations.
Once selected for a random drug and or alcohol test, you must report to a collection/testing site immediately upon receipt of the selection notice. This is the only notice you will receive. Failure to report for testing could result in a ‘refusal to test’ which may directly affect your CDL and could cause you to be removed from the testing pool and forfeit any fees paid.
It is your responsibility as a member of the pool to notify Drug Free Business immediately of any changes in your driving status, contact information or changes in phone or address for your company. You must notify all current employers and Drug Free Business in writing of any violation of the alcohol and drug prohibitions under 49 USC Part 40 before the end of the business day following the day you received notice of the violation (§382.415). If you violate any of the DOT or FMCSA drug and alcohol regulations, including failing or refusing a required drug or alcohol test, Drug Free Business is required to report the violation to the FMCSA Clearinghouse.
For the integrity of the consortium pool, you must agree to adhere to these rules, failure to do so will cause you to be removed from the pool and your membership canceled.
By completing this application, you hereby acknowledge responsibility for all Consortium rules, payment in full of annual membership dues, and/or any testing services rendered. You must keep DFB informed of any changes to phone number, address, and/or driving status (DOT Rule 49 CFR Part 40 Section 40.11 Employer Responsibilities). You must be available for testing as required. The inability to contact you by e-mail or phone will result in automatic removal and termination from the pool. Cancellation of services or membership requires 30 days prior written notice.
