The Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse is a secure online database created by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to monitor and improve the safety of commercial drivers in the United States. The FMSCA clearinghouse serves as a central repository for information on commercial drivers’ violations related to the Department of Transportation drug and alcohol testing program.
The purpose of the FMSCA drug and alcohol clearinghouse is to prevent drivers who have violated federal drug and alcohol testing regulations from moving from one carrier to another without detection. With the Clearinghouse FMCSA, employers can access up-to-date information on their drivers' drug and alcohol violation history, making it easier to maintain compliance with FMCSA regulations.
By providing a comprehensive, centralized source of information on drug and alcohol test results, the clearinghouse DOT helps to ensure that commercial drivers who pose a safety risk are kept off the roads, promoting the safety of all motorists on the nation's highways.
