How do I add a C/TPA to my Clearinghouse account? - January 16, 2026

If you own a Trucking company, you must register your company on FMCSA Clearinghouse Drug and Alcohol portal and join a Consortium provided by a Third Party Administrator or a C/TPA.  Once you set up your Clearinghouse Account and joined a C/TPA, you must designate the same C/TPA on your Clearinghouse account.

So, how do you add your C/TPA to the Clearinghouse Account and know about drug testing consortium?   You need to log in to your Clearinghouse account and find the “Account Maintenance” or “TPA Authorization” section, search for your C/TPA by name, select them from the list, and authorize the specific functions they will perform for you. After you save the designation, the request will be sent to the C/TPA for their confirmation.  Here are the steps.

Steps to designate a C/TPA

  1. Log in to your account on the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse portal.
  2. Navigate to “Account Management” on the right below login name.
  3. Click on the “Third Party Administrator (TPA) Authorization” subtab.
  4. Search for your C/TPA: Enter the C/TPA’s name in the search field and click the search icon.
  5. Select your C/TPA from the list of results and click “Designate”.
  6. Authorize functions:  The system will display three C/TPA functions you need to choose from to indicate the tasks you will expect the C/TPA to perform.  You need to select appropriate check boxes from the list below:
    • Report Violation
    • Report RTD (return-to-duty)
    • Conduct Queries
  7. Save your selections. This will send a request to the C/TPA to confirm your designation.

Important considerations

  • C/TPA registration: Your chosen C/TPA must be registered in the Clearinghouse before you can designate them. If they don’t appear in the search results, contact them to confirm they have completed their registration.
  • Owner-operators: As an owner-operator, you must authorize at least one C/TPA to report violations and at least one to report negative RTD information.
  • Designating a C/TPA in the Clearinghouse does not automatically transfer responsibilities.  At the end the day, yuo still have to make sure you or the C/TPA are completig the task per DOT rules.

DRUG and Breath Alcohol Testing

Drug Testing Services for ALL DOT Divisions such as FMCSA, FAA, FTA, and USCG. We coordinate all test activities with our clients, clinics, MRO, Labs, and the drivers to make sure all reports are accurate and sent to our clients fast. We also have an enterprise software using which our clients can access their random lists, drivers, results, invoices, and stats.

Random Program Management

We have over 15,000 drivers in our random pool segregated by individual pools for large clients. We also have our own consortium to manage randoms for our smaller clients. We generate pools for Drug and Breath Alcohol Tests with Alternates in case the drivers in the pool are not available. We administer these pools accurately and save test results which is used for statistical reports generation required by the law.

 

MRO Service

We have experienced and certified MROs in staff to speak with every individual who has a positive lab results. Our MRO reviews all DOT and non-DOT results intensely and provide consultation when it is needed before a report is made to the company. MROs' review of the drug test results protects both the employee and the employer from liabilities inherent in any drug testing program. The integrity of your Drug Testing program depends on its fairness and accuracy.

 

24x7 Service

We provide 24x7 service for our clients for Emergency situation. When your driver is engaged in an accident and issued a ticket there are guidelines available from DOT to identify if a Post Accident Drug Test is needed. We will be with you to make sure that we set up required tests for the driver and send him or her to the nearest clinic to help our clients take all necessary steps. We will report the test results within a day of receiving the results from the Lab.

 

Laboratory and Clinical Service

We have agreements with TOP Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Certified Laboratories across the nation. We are electronically linked with each laboratory and own MRO, so we receive test results 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

 

Fast Reports

We know your drivers are waiting for results for the Pre-employment drug screens. This is why we send you reports within 24 hours of getting the results from the lab. A majority of our reports go out on the same day.
