Course Description
The Clearinghouse is a secure online database that provides real time information about drug and alcohol violations as it relates to CDL and CDL learner's permit drivers. The information is provided for employers, the FMCSA, State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs), and State law enforcement personnel.

The Clearinghouse provides FMCSA and employers the necessary tools to identify drivers who are prohibited from operating a CMV based on U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) drug and alcohol program violations, and ensure that such drivers receive the required evaluation and treatment before operating a CMV on public roads.
