Drivers Clearinghouse by Concorde is a service we created to help you comply with FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse. We have 35 years of experience working with companies to meet local, state, and federal regulations from the Department of Transportation (DOT).
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration created the Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse to help make the roads safer for all drivers. The purpose of the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is to identify commercial drivers with drug and alcohol program violations.
This new mandate from the Department of Transportation went into effect on January 6, 2020. If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) or employ truck drivers, then you must make sure you are compliant with the specifications of the Clearinghouse.
That’s where we come in.
We will help you, your drivers, and your company meet the requirements of this new regulation.
Drivers Clearinghouse by Concorde streamlines the annual query and driver consent process with our advanced technological solutions. We provide real-time roster management, store records of completion, and send alert notifications if there’s an issue with a file.
We are not affiliated with the FMCSA. We are only here to help!
The FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is an online database that keeps a record of all commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and flags those with federal drug and alcohol program violations. Having a centralized database that stores this type of information in real-time allows employers to prohibit unsafe drivers from performing safety-sensitive functions.
More specifically, FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse tracks CDL holders who have tested positive for prohibited drug or alcohol use or refused to take required drug tests. Additionally, the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse records when a driver completes the return-to-duty process and follow-up testing plan.
The Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse regulation improves highway safety by making it:
Easier for employers to meet pre-employment investigation and reporting obligations
Challenging for drivers to conceal drug and alcohol violations from current and prospective employers
The Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse affects all CDL drivers who operate CMVs on public roads as well as their employers and service agents.
The Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse is mandated by the Department of Transportation. Failure to comply with the new regulation can have significant consequences including fines and a potential investigation of the employer’s operations.
