Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse Consent For Limited Queries

Notice To Driver: The Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is a federal database containing information about CDL drivers who have violated the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA's) drug or alcohol regulations in 49 CFR Part 382. Whether you have committed such a violation or not, each motor carrier for whom you drive is required to check whether the Clearinghouse has any information about you, both at the time of hire and annually. When conducting an annual inquiry, the motor carrier has the option to request a "limited" report that only indicates whether the Clearinghouse has any information about you; it does not release any violation or testing information. Before a motor carrier may request a limited report, they must have your written authorization, per $382.701(b). This authorization may be valid for more than one year. If a limited query ever reveals that the Clearinghouse has information about you, you will be required to log in to the Clearinghouse website within 24 hours to grant electronic consent for the motor carrier to obtain your full Clearinghouse record.
