Alcohol & Drug Clearinghouse: What Drivers Need to Know

COURSE OUTLINE

As of January 6, 2020, the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse has revolutionized the method in which motor carriers with drug and alcohol testing programs discover a CDL driver’s DOT testing history. Section 382.601(b)(12) of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) compels motor carriers to furnish drivers with informational materials that illuminate the Clearinghouse mandates and the employer’s strategies and procedures to satisfy these mandates. This includes the categories of personal data collected and stored within the Clearinghouse database.
