The Clearinghouse, mandated by Congress and managed by the Secretary of Transportation, stands as a robust online database pivotal in ensuring the safety and integrity of commercial driving. It provides a real-time repository of drug and alcohol program violations for CDL and CLP holders, offering essential transparency to employers, FMCSA, SDLAs, and law enforcement.
It helps employers, regulators, and police keep an eye on violations in real-time. This is important because some drivers might not tell their next employer about past problems. By catching these issues early, the Clearinghouse helps make sure drivers get the help they need before they’re back on the road, making highways safer for everyone.
