DOT vs Non-DOT Program Picker

Does the employer have drivers who need a CDL to operate commercial motor vehicles (over 26,000 lbs, passenger buses, or placarded hazmat)?

CDL drivers of commercial motor vehicles typically fall under FMCSA testing rules (49 CFR Part 382).

Does the employer have workers in aviation, rail, transit, pipeline, or maritime safety-sensitive roles?

FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, and Coast Guard rules each cover their own safety-sensitive positions, all using Part 40 procedures.

Is the client a self-employed CDL driver operating under their own authority (an owner-operator)?

Owner-operators cannot administer their own random program and participate through a consortium.

Does the employer also want to test employees who are NOT in DOT safety-sensitive roles (office staff, warehouse, general workforce)?

Testing outside DOT authority runs under the company's own policy and state employment law, not Part 40.
