Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) Drug and Alcohol Clearing House
Individuals that hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)
or a CDL permit will be screened against the FMCSA Drug and
Alcohol Clearing house to determine if there are drug or alcohol
violations. This screening will be conducted prior to employment and
yearly thereafter for the duration of employment. For pre-employment
queries the applicant must provide their electronic consent for a full
query of the clearinghouse. For yearly verification an employee only
needs to provide written consent to obtain a limited query result. If the
result provides information that there are additional details of their
record, an electronic consent must be obtained from the employee prior
to obtaining the full query results.

Applicants or employees that will not provide electronic consent for a
full query will be reported to the clearinghouse as a refusal to consent.
Applicants will no longer be considered for employment. Existing
employees may lose driving privileges resulting in reduction of pay
and/or termination.
