We Help Manage Your Drug & Alcohol Paperwork. You Just Drive.
The Problem.
What we do.
The “Done-For-You” Management Plan We act as your C/TPA (Consortium/Third-Party Administrator) to handle the daily work that keeps you compliant.
- Clearinghouse Setup: We register your company and drivers in the federal database so you are legal from Day 1.
- Mandatory Queries: We manually run your required Pre-Employment and Annual Queries every year to ensure your drivers are cleared to drive.
- Test Scheduling & Alerts: When it is time for a test (random or pre-employment), we find a clinic near you and text you the authorization form. You just show up.
- Audit Protection: We keep a secure copy of your Chain of Custody forms (CCF) and results. If the DOT comes knocking, we have your files ready.
FAQ: Why is Professional Drug & Alcohol Management Critical?
If you are an owner-operator (you own the truck and drive it), federal law prohibits you from managing your own random testing. The FMCSA believes it is a conflict of interest for you to “surprise” yourself with a random test. You are required by law to hire a Consortium/Third-Party Administrator (C/TPA) like Carrier Partner to manage the selection process for you.
No. Signing up is just step one. To be legal, you must also register in the FMCSA Clearinghouse, run a query on yourself annually, and report any violations. Many drivers join a consortium but forget the Clearinghouse steps, which results in fines during an audit. Our management service handles both sides of this requirement so nothing falls through the cracks.
If you miss a random test or don’t show up to the clinic on time, the FMCSA considers this a “Refusal to Test.” Legally, a refusal is treated exactly the same as a positive drug test. You will be immediately pulled off the road and must go through a long, expensive “Return-to-Duty” process before you can drive again. Our text-alert system ensures you never miss a notification.
No. This is the #1 mistake new drivers make. You cannot haul a single load until you have a negative Pre-Employment Drug Test result on file. Simply paying for the membership isn’t enough; you must go to the lab and get the “Negative” result paper in your hand. We schedule this test for you immediately so you can get on the road fast.
As of late 2024, state licensing agencies (DMVs) are now linking their systems to the federal Clearinghouse. If you have a drug violation or a “Refusal to Test” recorded in the Clearinghouse, your state may automatically downgrade your CDL to a regular license, effectively killing your ability to work until the issue is resolved. Professional management prevents these administrative errors from destroying your career.
