The training provides supervisors with the knowledge, practical tools, and skills needed to recognize signs and symptoms of drug abuse and alcohol misuse, make appropriate Reasonable Suspicion determinations, and understand their responsibilities under applicable Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements, including FMCSA regulations and other DOT agency requirements.

DOT FMCSA CLEARINGHOUSE PROGRAM TESTING

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires covered employers to use the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse to conduct required driver queries, review driver violation histories, complete annual queries, maintain required records, and report qualifying violations. While certain Clearinghouse responsibilities may be delegated to a Third-Party Administrator (TPA), the employer remains ultimately responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable regulations. The FMCSA Clearinghouse Training for Employers is designed to provide practical guidance through each step of the Clearinghouse process, including registration, conducting limited and full queries, reviewing driver records, reporting violations, managing consent requirements, and designating TPAs when applicable. Proper training helps employers and designated Clearinghouse users understand their responsibilities, avoid common compliance errors, and reduce the risk of fines, penalties, and other costly consequences.

Upon successful completion of the training, participants will receive a certificate for: DOT Supervisor Reasonable Suspicion Training – Alcohol & Drug Testing
