If you have a DOT alcohol & drug testing program under Part 382, you're subject to the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse rule. As of January 5, 2020, you are required to query the DOT's new Clearinghouse online database to identify CDL drivers who are prohibited from operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) due to drug and alcohol violations
The DOT Clearinghouse helps identify drivers who are prohibited from operating a CMV based on FMCSA drug and alcohol program violations. If you have a DOT testing program under Part 382, you must comply with pre-employment and annual queries! Annual queries are past due for those drivers that were part of your Part 382 program as of January 6, 2020.

For motor carriers that hired a driver since the implementation of the Clearinghouse, the first annual query is required within a year of the pre-employment query.
A motor carrier that does not request an annual query or fails to act on the results of an unresolved testing violation has committed a violation due to incorrect record keeping, which has a penalty up to $15,419 for each violation.
A new entrant will automatically fail a safety audit if a single instances is found of using a driver with an unresolved DOT testing violation. For existing carriers, such a violation is acute, meaning non-compliance with a single acute regulation is considered a serious violation. Non-compliance is so severe that it requires immediate corrective action by a motor carrier.
