DOT Clearinghouse deadline is few weeks away

-

 


DOT Clearinghouse was launched by FMCSA which is an online database to collect information of CDL drivers regarding drug and alcohol testing violations and return-to-duty. The motive of implementing clearinghouse is to prevent the job hopping of CDL drivers having positive drug and alcohol test results, refusal to test or driver’s return-to-duty process.

According to FMCSA, still many drivers and employers have not registered for the clearinghouse. Only few weeks are left to run the annual queries, a large volume on the last few days may overwhelmed the system. It could make difficult for the employers to meet their requirements before the deadline.

Who failed to run these annual queries before the last date will get fined up to $2500 per driver.

It is a mandatory if your business falls under FMCSA. Clearinghouse will contain information about positive drug and alcohol test results. Any refusal to the test or the driver’s return-to-duty information

Registered drivers with clearinghouse will help the employers in the process of their hiring to gather useful information. The drivers are a violation are registered with an SAP and the currently employed driver are given consent for an annual query.

A query is basically a check run by the employer or any designated C/TPA to determine are there any unresolved drug and alcohol program violations.  

If any employer found with unresolved violations or have refused random test then he will immediately be terminated from his safety sensitive duties.
