DOT Compliance for Owner-Operators (Without Corporate Pricing)
If you’re an owner-operator or run a small fleet (1-5 trucks), you’ve probably noticed that most C/TPAs either:
- Do not want to deal with you because you’re “too small”
- Charge you the same per-driver rate as large fleets
- Push you through processes built for corporate DER teams
US Drug Check built this owner-operator program because every driver deserves affordable DOT compliance, whether you have one truck or one hundred.
You still get the same core support as larger operations:
- ✓ Quarterly random pool management
- ✓ FMCSA Clearinghouse queries and reporting support (query fees billed separately)
- ✓ 24/7 post-accident coordination support
- ✓ Same-day reporting after MRO verification
- ✓ MRO verification workflows and Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) coordination support
The difference is pricing that actually fits a small operation.
Starting at $299 per driver per year
or
$75 per quarter
Included in pricing
- Quarterly random selections (FMCSA-compliant)
- FMCSA Clearinghouse pre-employment and annual query support (query fees billed separately)
- 24/7 post-accident support coordination
- Same-day reporting after MRO verification
- MRO verification workflows
- Annual DOT MIS reporting support
No setup fees. No hidden charges.

Common Owner-Operator Questions
I'm leased to a carrier. Do I still need my own C/TPA?
It depends on your lease agreement. Some carriers include C/TPA services and others require you to provide your own. We can review your lease expectations and coordinate with the carrier compliance contact when needed.
What if I only have one driver (myself)?
Single-driver owner-operators still need DOT random program participation when applicable. This program supports quarterly random administration and required Clearinghouse workflows.
Can I switch to you mid-year from another C/TPA?
Yes. Transfer paperwork and random pool migration support are included, and most owner-operator setups are completed quickly after required onboarding details are received.
What happens if I get randomly selected?
You receive notification and collection site instructions. You complete testing within required timelines at a partner location, and results are reported same day after MRO verification.
Do I have to call an 800 number and wait on hold?
No. You have direct contact to a live program administrator, with response support designed for quick follow-up.
What Owner-Operators Say
“As a single-truck owner-operator, I did not want to overpay for compliance I could barely understand. Doug explained everything in plain English, got me set up in one day, and charges a fair price. Best decision I made last year.”
