I have a violation on my clearinghouse….how much will the fine be if I get pulled over

[AlfredSr-wd]

If I pass a dot drug test for a prospective employer but I am flagged for tampering because I was talking about things I shouldn’t have and made the tester suspicious that I cheated on the test without actually cheating. Does clearing house mark the exact reason why it would be flagged? Can talking about cheating actually be labeled tampering without actually tampering anything? I’m worried future employers might not want to hire me due to the possible labels used on clearinghouse… and I also don’t really want to have my privacy invaded through an observed test. Also can I request a retest? Or a hair follicle/ mouth swab test to confirm? Would a retest make the possible tampering flag disappear?

I am an owner operator with cdl but truck is intrastate only and weights under 26001 pounds. I just got my usdot number do I need to do a drug screen

Good Morning! I was hit a parked CMV in a truck stop parking lot. Police weren’t called, no tickets or citations, however there was enough damage that the truck was towed. Is that DOT reportable being that it wasn’t on a highway? Thanks!!

So would I get flagged on clearinghouse if I got a DWI on my motorcycle a year ago. There’s nothing on clearinghouse for me but idk if it’s a mistake or not. And my jobs trying to get me back in a truck but I’m confused if clearinghouse is only reporting you if you get a charge in a CMV?
Ps, I’m in the middle of getting my CDL back, I lost it for a little over a year.

Quick Question: if you fail a DOT pre employment drug test for an employer who doesn’t require a CDL to drive there smaller trucks. Does that get reported to the clearinghouse?

[javierpreciado]

Does postive non dot drug test get reported to clearing house ?

[wallygator]

Do companies that hire SAP drivers make that company's insurance premium go up

[jayy]

If i am an owner operator and do not have a cdl am i required to complete the drug and alcohol clearinghouse?

[johnthomas]

Once you have completed everything will petitioning for removal will it still be visible to other possible employers

If I refused a pre-employment drug screen for a driver/helper position with a chance to get cdl. Does that go to clearing house?

I had an interview with Labatt and had to take a drug test for them well the lady that took my urine was having a bad day or idk what her problem was but she didn’t even look at my pee she grabbed it from my hands and threw it away and immediately asked me to wait another 3 hours before I can test again. So I left. It was a pre employment drug screen for Labatt the job was a driver helper position with a chance to get a cdl in 6months.

Ive failed 2009 do i have to be in a program?

[codycharapata]

Dont violations go away 5 years from the date entered into the clearinghouse?

[cubanosunidos]

So you don't need to do the clearinghouse to operate a light duty commercial vehicle?

[johnmaze]

I have a question if i had a drug test for pre employment but decided i didn’t want the job again and decided not to show up for the drug test would that show up on my clearinghouse?
