A new regulation from The FMCSA has notified

The clearinghouse will improve highway safety by helping employers, FMCSA, State driver Licensing Agencies, and State law enforcement to quickly and proficiently identify drivers who are not legally permitted to operate commercial motor vehicles due to drug and alcohol program violations. An employer who employs himself/herself as a driver must comply with FMCSA drug and alcohol requirements. This new regulation applies to both employers and drivers.

Beginning fall 2019, registration begins for those users that want to establish an account. Employers must conduct both electronic queries within the Clearinghouse and manual inquiries with previous employers to cover the past three years. The clearinghouse will become active January 6, 2020, and will be mandatory to prevent any unsafe actions and to make sure that drivers committing these violations complete the necessary steps to get back behind the wheel or any other safety-sensitive functions.
