Clearinghouse Query Management

from $75.00

We run your FMCSA Clearinghouse queries for you. Every CDL driver needs a full pre-employment query before starting work and an annual query each year after, and the annual ones are easy to miss because nothing reminds you they're due.

We handle the queries, track the due dates, keep the records your next audit will ask for, and notify you immediately if a query ever returns a violation. All FMCSA query fees are included: no extra charges per driver.

Plans are priced by fleet size, from a single owner-operator up to 30 drivers.

What's Included

  • Pre-Employment Queries: We run a query before each new CDL driver starts work.
  • Annual Queries: We run the required annual query on each current CDL driver.
  • Query Fees Included: FMCSA query fees are included in our price.
  • Record Keeping: We maintain query records for DOT audits.
  • Violation Monitoring: If a query returns a violation, we notify you immediately.

What Is a Clearinghouse Query?

Employers must check the FMCSA Clearinghouse to see if a CDL driver has any drug or alcohol violations on record. There are two types: limited queries show whether violations exist (yes or no), and full queries show complete violation history but require driver consent.

Missed annual queries are an easy audit violation because nothing reminds you they're due. That's the problem this service removes.

What Happens After I Order?

We take over your query schedule: pre-employment queries before each new CDL driver starts, annual queries tracked and run on time for every current driver, and records kept audit-ready. If a query ever returns a violation, you hear from us immediately with what it means and what happens next. Plans are priced by driver count, from a single owner-operator up to 30 drivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

When are queries required?+

Pre-employment queries are required before a CDL driver performs any safety-sensitive functions. Annual queries are required at least once every 12 months for each current CDL driver.

What's the difference between limited and full queries?+

Limited queries show whether a violation exists but not the details. If a limited query comes back with a violation, you must run a full query, which requires driver consent, to see the details. Pre-employment queries are full and annual queries are limited.

What if a driver has a violation?+

You cannot hire or continue to employ a driver with an unresolved violation in safety-sensitive duties. They must complete the return-to-duty process with a Substance Abuse Professional before driving again.

Can I run queries myself?+

Yes, if you have an employer Clearinghouse account. Our service handles it for you so you do not have to log in, track due dates, or manage consent requests yourself.

How are the plans priced?+

By driver count: 1 driver, 2-4, 5-14, or 15-30 drivers, with FMCSA query fees included at every tier. Pick the tier that matches your current fleet; if you grow mid-year, contact us and we'll adjust.

What records do I get for audits?+

Documentation of every query we run and when, which is exactly what an auditor asks to see. We maintain them for you as part of the service.
