\nThe database’s purpose is to track and identify “drivers who are not legally permitted to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) due to drug and alcohol program violations,” the FMCSA said.
\nIn 2012, Congress directed the secretary of transportation to establish a national clearinghouse containing commercial motor vehicle operators\u2019 violations of FMCSA\u2019s drug and alcohol testing program in Section 32402 of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). This rule implements that mandate and responds to recommendations of the National Transportation Safety Board.
\nFMCSA says on the website that registration with the database will open in the fall and all operators who hold a commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL) or commercial driver\u2019s permit (CLP) must comply with the requirement in order to continue working in a safety-sensitive role.
\nMore information, including frequently asked questions, is available at the Commercial Driver\u2019s License Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse website.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
