DOT Clearing HouseÂ
According to the DOT employee handbook on alcohol and drug testing procedures, the department’s goal is to “employ operators who are 100 percent drug- and alcohol-free. The Clearinghouse enables employers to identify drivers who commit a drug and alcohol program violation while working for one employer, but who fail to subsequently inform another employer.
​
IF YOUR DRIVER IS TESTED POSITIVE THEN THEY WILL NEED TO GO THROUGH DOT CLEARING HOUSE AND GO TO A SAP IN ORDER TO GET CLEARED. With our services we will help with any positive drug test and new hire queries and annual queries reports for your company.
