USDOT BASIC PROGRAMS
CCC's USDOT Basic Program is designed specifically to meet the needs of organizations who must comply with FMCSA drug and alcohol testing regulations on a tight budget. USDOT requires owner-operators to be enrolled in a consortium pool for random selections. CCC's USDOT Basic Program is designed to provide a comprehensive testing package including consortium pooling for owner-operators and other carriers who prefer to be in a consortium pool rather than their own company pool.
Clients who enroll in our USDOT Basic program receive the following Turn Key Service Package:

Our USDOT Basic clients receive CCC's Collection Site Referral & Set-up Service. Locating and establishing collection and alcohol testing sites is critical to the success of your Drug and Alcohol Testing Program. Using our vast collection site database and collection site locator resources, we will locate collection sites in your designated testing areas and help you determine which sites best meet your unique service needs. We will then coordinate the set-up of your account at each chosen collection site by providing the site with detailed instructions concerning the establishment of your account, including:

Your company name, address, phone numbers and authorized contacts
-
The names, addresses and phone numbers of your testing lab and MRO

Specimen shipping instructions
-
Instructions concerning how to order additional testing supplies,
-
Instructions concerning the disbursement of testing paperwork, and

Billing instructions
We will order and ship the initial supply of specimen collection materials to each collection site or if you prefer we will ship the supplies directly to you for distribution to your sites or employees. CCC will also act as a liaison between the employer and the collection site on an ongoing basis.
CCC's Random Consortium Services
Clients who enroll in CCC's USDOT Basic Program are placed in CCC's random consortium pool for drug and alcohol random selection services. CCC's sophisticated computerized random selection system automatically calculates the number of random selections required for the quarter and then selects the appropriate number of employees for random drug and/or alcohol testing. If you or one of your employees is selected for testing, CCC sends you a written notification of the required testing and detailed instructions explaining where to report for testing and the deadline by which the testing must be completed.
DOT Blind Specimen Tracking & Submission Service
DOT regulations require that if an employer uses a Third Party Administrator (TPA) for testing services that the TPA track the volume of testing completed by all of its DOT clients and submit a percentage of blind specimens to each testing laboratory used for services. As your TPA, CCC automatically provides this service for all of our DOT clients. CCC can provide a report verifying the completion of this testing upon your request.
Split Sample Testing Services
DOT regulations require that all DOT drug screen collections be completed using the split sample collection method. In short this collection method requires that the urine specimen be divided into two separate specimen bottles at the time of collection. Both bottles are sealed and shipped to the laboratory. However, only the primary bottle is originally tested. If an employee's test result is verified as positive or refusal to test by the Medical Review Officer (MRO), the employee has the right to request that the second specimen bottle be shipped to a second certified testing laboratory for reanalysis. CCC's MRO automatically informs the employee of this right during the donor interview process. If the employee requests this specimen be re-tested, DOT regulations require our MRO Service to process this request immediately. The fee for this test is billed to the employer. The employer may choose to collect re-reimbursement from the employee if this is required by the employer's company policy.
Access to CCC's Non-Emergency Over-The-Road Collection Site Set-up Services
Because it is not always possible or convenient to use your permanent collection sites for pre-employment, random or other testing, CCC offers our USDOT Basic Clients our CCC Over-the-Road Collection Site Set-Up Service. To use this service simply call our toll free number during regular office hours. We will locate a collection site in the requested area and make all the arrangements for the required testing. We then call you back with the facility information so you can direct your employee to the test site. This service is a great tool for completing randoms on-the-road or pre-employment testing on applicants who live far distances from your place of business, saving you travel and lodging expenses when qualifying applicants.*
Specimen Status Tracking & Expedited Result Reporting
CCC understands that drug test results cannot come too soon, your critical personnel decisions depend on them. If you are particularly anxious about the status of a pending test result simply call our offices. Our MRO's staff will contact the lab to:
1) verify that the lab has received the specimen,
2) determine the testing status of the specimen and,
3) obtain an estimate of when the lab is expected to release the result to the MRO for review.
In addition to contacting the lab to verify the status of your test results, for USDOT Basic clients, our MRO staff will also contact your collection site to verify that the employee did complete the test, we will verify when the sample was shipped, and track the specimen with the courier service responsible for transporting the specimen to the testing laboratory. If you are particularly anxious about a specific result, for USDOT Basic clients, our MRO's staff can also enter a "flag" in our computer system that will automatically notify the staff member the minute that specific result is received into our computer system. The result can then be flagged for "priority or emergency" processing to further expedite the MRO review and reporting process.
Supervisor Training Programs
Supervisors play a crucial role in an effective drug and alcohol-testing program. More than anyone else, they are in a position to recognize changes in an employee's job performance. Our supervisor-training guide gives your supervisors the tools they need to make reasonable suspicion determinations. This training guide meets the DOT training requirements of Part 382.603, is packed with valuable information and includes sample forms and a certificate of completion. Employers enrolled in our USDOT Basic programs have available to them a video Supervisor's Training and Guide.
Optional Services
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Referral Services
When an employee violates a program prohibition, CCC can refer you to a qualified Substance Abuse Professional to meet the DOT's referral and evaluation requirements. CCC's SAP Referral service includes locating an appropriate facility and certified personnel to perform the SAP evaluation according to DOT regulations. CCC provides the employer with a set of referral documents including the SAP's contact information, a copy of a certification form, signed by the SAP, verifying the SAP has completed the the proper training and holds the required required license or certification, as well as copies of the SAP's license or certificate.
