Clearinghouse Account Inactivity Results in Deletion After 90-Days
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has implemented a new policy where user accounts on the Clearinghouse portal will be automatically deleted after 90-days of inactivity. This action is significant as the FMCSA Clearinghouse is a required database search for anyone hiring a driver covered by the FMCSA for employers, providing vital information about drivers' Drug and Alcohol Program violations. Therefore, to ensure uninterrupted access to this vital resource, users must ensure the regular activity of their accounts. Losing access to your account might disrupt your operations and compliance with FMCSA regulations. Additionally, account deletions due to inactivity will require users to undergo the entire registration process again, which could lead to potential delays in verifying drivers’ compliance with drug and alcohol regulations.
