What actions can CDL drivers take in the Clearinghouse?
Guidance: Drivers may:
- View their own driver record electronically.
- Provide electronic consent to release detailed drug and alcohol program violation information to a current or prospective employer.
- Identify a substance abuse professional (SAP) so the SAP may enter specific information regarding the driver’s return-to-duty (RTD) activities.
See 49 CFR 382.709, 38.703
To complete the actions outlined above, drivers must be registered in the Clearinghouse.
Registered drivers will have their Clearinghouse accounts and contact preferences set up, allowing them to quickly respond to query requests from employers. Registration is available at https://clearinghouse.fmcsa.dot.gov/register.
