Upcoming Webinar: "The Time to Prepare is NOW! Your Recruiting and Compliance Action Plan For The Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse"

💡The Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse became fully implemented on January 6, 2023. Per the FMCSA, employers of CDL drivers will no longer need to include drug and alcohol requests in the scope of the safety performance history process of hiring a driver—the employer’s query of the Clearinghouse will satisfy that requirement. Other previous employment verification processes remain unchanged—check out VOE+ to make some of these processes easier on your team!

The information on this page is historical, educational material on this change as part of DriverReach industry content offerings. For more information on the FMCSA’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse, please visit its FAQ page. 

FMCSA’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse Rule will come into full effect on January 6th – just 2 short months from now. The preparation (in addition to everything else on your plate) can be incredibly overwhelming. You are probably asking critical questions like, “Where should I start?” and “What are other carriers doing?”

Don’t worry – DriverReach has all of the resources you need to not only become compliant, but be confident that you’re prepared. Our team has been hard at work to prepare helpful resources – regardless of who your current ATS provider may be.
