Dear: ;

Effective January 6, 2020, the new FMCSA Regulation 382.701 requires all DOT Employers to query the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (known henceforth as Clearinghouse) on all employees that operate in a Safety Sensitive Position annually.  This limited query provides access to information that is available in the Clearinghouse on employed drivers. According to the regulation, employees that do not authorize this review of their Clearinghouse data can no longer operate a commercial vehicle for the company.

The information contained in the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse is available to each employee by visiting the Clearinghouse at the FMCSA website. It will be the employee’s responsibility to insure any data contained within the Clearinghouse is accurate. The employer (Windstar Lines, Inc.) will never knowingly report incorrect or inaccurate information to the Clearinghouse.

I hereby authorize Windstar Lines, Inc. to conduct an annual review of the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse as required by the FMCSA Regulation 382.701. This review will be a limited query in the scope as required by the regulations on an annual basis to determine that an employee did not violate a drug and alcohol program with another company. This authorization will be in effect for the duration of the employee’s employment with Windstar Lines, Inc.
