Employer & Independent Employer Consortium

Services you receive in the Consortium

1. Company random selection program. Join as an Independent with your own driver pool, or as a Consortium participant where one pool is built from all participating employers' drivers. Drivers are randomly picked and tested quarterly until required annual testing percentages are met. Compare Independent vs. Consortium →
