Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse

    The FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is a federal database of drug and alcohol program violations for CDL drivers. Carriers must run a full query before hiring a driver and a limited query at least once a year for every employed driver; unresolved violations bar that driver from operating a commercial vehicle.

    The Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is an FMCSA-operated database that stores drug and alcohol program violations for CDL drivers. Motor carriers are required to run a full pre-employment query before hiring a driver and a limited query at least annually for every driver currently employed. Failed pre-employment queries and unresolved violations disqualify a driver from operating a commercial motor vehicle. Fleegital automates Clearinghouse consent, queries, and annual limited-query renewals.
