Questions

Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse: common questions

Do owner-operators need this?

An owner-operator is both employer and driver, which is why FMCSA requires a designated consortium or third-party administrator in that situation rather than self-querying.

How often are queries required?

A full query before hiring a driver, and a limited query at least once every twelve months for each driver you employ.
