Drug and Alcohol Clearing House

Drug and Alcohol Clearing House:

January 6, 2020 is the mandatory effective date for the use of the Clearinghouse

mandated by Congress to report and query information about driver drug and alcohol

program violations. Employers must conduct both electronic queries within the

Clearinghouse and manual inquiries with previous employers to cover the preceding three

years. The Clearinghouse will improve highway safety by helping employers, FMCSA,

State Driver Licensing Agencies, and State law enforcement to quickly and efficiently

identify drivers who are not legally permitted to operate commercial motor vehicles

(CMVs) due to drug and alcohol program violations. This secure online database will

provide access to real-time information, ensuring that drivers committing these violations

complete the necessary steps before getting back behind the wheel, or performing any

other safety-sensitive function. Get News and Updates about the Clearinghouse by

visiting the following weblink https://clearinghouse.fmcsa.dot.gov/ .

LOG AUDITING

We also offer a log auditing service for just $15 a month per driver. We will review your

driver’s logs to ensure they are properly documented.
