Why Do You Need FMCSA Clearinghouse Services?
If you are in the business of moving cargo and part of the safety-sensitive industry, keeping up with all the information and regulations needed to hire CDL holders can be overwhelming. You have to comply with the drug and alcohol testing program and report violations. Also, as part of the pre-employment process, you have to do a Clearinghouse query before you can allow a driver to operate a CMV. Even for your current employees, you need to do an annual query as well. And it doesn’t stop there. You also have to encourage and train your drivers to use the Clearinghouse.
As a fleet owner or owner-operator, all these tasks take effort and money to accomplish (you have to pay for every query). Not to mention the time you need to learn your way around the FMCSA Clearinghouse database and understand all the information given. If you already have a lot of things to worry about, let us take these tasks off your hands so you can focus on more important aspects of your business.
As your third party administrator, we will conduct queries on your behalf, help you document and report collection site refusals and known drug and /or alcohol use. More importantly, with our clearinghouse services, you can easily meet the mandated requirements.
