What happens if a driver has a violation reported in the Clearinghouse?
If a query reveals that a driver has a violation: The employer must immediately remove the driver from safety-sensitive duties. The driver must undergo an evaluation with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and complete any required treatment or education program. After the SAP program, the driver must pass a return-to-duty test and may be subject to follow-up testing. The employer must report the completion of the return-to-duty process and any follow-up testing requirements to the Clearinghouse.
