In this blog, we’ll explore the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, its impact on the trucking and transportation industry & what you need to know.

In an effort to improve safety on the road, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) established the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. This comprehensive database is designed to track and manage drug and alcohol violations among commercial drivers. 

The FMCSA’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse electronic database was launched in January 2020 and serves as a centralized resource for recording and monitoring drug and alcohol testing violations by commercial motor vehicle drivers. 

For trucking & transportation companies, the Clearinghouse represents a significant shift in how they must handle these issues, with serious implications affecting hiring, compliance, & safety.
