QUERY REQUIRMENTS ACTION REQUIRED BEFORE JANUARY 6, 2021 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires employers of CDL drivers to conduct a query in the FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse at lease once per year for each CDL driver they employ. The CDL driver must consent prior to conducting (1) Pre-Employment query; and/or (2) Annual Query. FMCSA charges for queries, a flat fee of $1.25 per query. Employers must purchase a query plan to ensure the employer or a designated C/TPAs can conduct queries. C/TPAs cannot purchase queries plans on the behalf of employers.
As your C/TPA (consortium), we can conduct the required CDL driver query once a consent is provided to us. In addition, employers are required to report any violations – positive test, employer determined test refusals. Member Price New Driver Query $10.00 Per Driver Annual Driver Query $10.00 Per Driver Reporting Violations $10.00 Per Driver
After January 6, 2020, the employer checks will still be required per 49 CFR Part 40 Section 40.25. Annual queries of all existing CDL drivers will be required.
