DOT testing isn't hard because of the tests. It's hard because of everything around them: random selections that have to happen on time, Clearinghouse queries before a driver's first shift, supervisor training records, and paperwork an auditor can ask for on short notice. One missed step can turn a routine audit into fines or drivers pulled off the road.
Most safety managers are doing this on top of a full-time job. You shouldn't have to become a regulations expert to keep your people working.
Rise is a consortium and third-party administrator (C/TPA). We know how much pressure sits on the person responsible for compliance, so we take the day-to-day work off their plate and keep the records organized for the day someone asks for them.
Each DOT agency sets its own rules for who gets tested and when. Part 40 sets how testing is done. Rise builds your program around the rules that apply to you.

Which agencies cover your employees, how many people are in safety-sensitive roles, and where they work.
Policy, DOT random consortium enrollment, Clearinghouse setup, collection sites, DOT physicals, and supervisor training, all in one place.
We run selections, track results, and keep your records organized, so an audit is a request you can answer, not a scramble.
If you employ CDL drivers, the Clearinghouse is part of your program. Rise can be designated as your C/TPA to handle the work for you.
49 CFR Part 40 is the federal rule for how DOT drug and alcohol tests are collected, analyzed, reviewed, and reported. Every test Rise coordinates follows it.
Collections are done by trained collectors who follow strict chain-of-custody procedures.
Specimens go to labs certified under the HHS National Laboratory Certification Program, with confirmation testing for every non-negative result.
A licensed physician reviews every non-negative result before it's reported to you.
Specimens are checked for tampering, and employees can request testing of their split specimen.
Under FMCSA rules, supervisors who make reasonable suspicion decisions need at least 60 minutes of drug training and 60 minutes of alcohol training. Other DOT agencies have their own supervisor training rules. Your Designated Employer Representative (DER) needs to know the whole process.
Live Training. In person at your facility, with time for your team's real questions.
Online Training. Self-paced, with a certificate of completion.
Refresher Training. Keeps your team current when rules or staff change.
Custom Training. Built around your industry and your policy.
