FMCSA – DOT Alcohol & Drug Testing Program

If you have logistics operations with CDL drivers, your compliance burden under The Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) can be heavy.  Let us lighten your load.

Your job is to sell product and make money. Let us handle your DOT compliance and remove that burden from your desk.

Managing Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements can be a tremendous undertaking and can even be quite scary, especially when fines for even minor violations can exceed $20,000. As a funeral service supply professional, you have better ways to use your time than constantly monitoring and wondering if you are going to survive the next DOT audit.

That’s why CFSA  brings to you a DOT compliance program that addresses your compliance needs, regardless of the size and scope of your operation. And, with pricing at member-only discounted rates, your participation in this program will take a mandated requirement and make it an efficient, seamless experience for you. No more guessing if you’re actually compliant. That peace-of-mind itself is worth your participation.

Features of this improved program include:

  1. No “access” or “registration” fees. Your CFSA dues payment is your access.
  2. Driver Qualification Files (DQFs) available to you 24/7 via secure web access.
  3. Drug and other testing results quickly and sent electronically
  4. Pricing that makes your CFSA membership a critical asset to your business
  5. Program administered by ITI, the leading compliance firm in the nation
