Summary

If you employ CDLs (even one, and even if it’s yourself), you are required by federal regulations to register in the FMCSA Clearinghouse.

Do it here: https://clearinghouse.fmcsa.dot.gov/

As of January 6, 2020, it’s the law.

Queries must be purchased by the employer. Your C/TPA is not permitted to do it for you.

They are $1.25 each. Learn about them here: https://clearinghouse.fmcsa.dot.gov/Query/Plan

Available now.

How many should you buy?

How many drivers do you have? How many do you hire each year? Add those together. That many.

Better to estimate high.

But you have to opt-in.

If you are an owner AND a driver, you are required to select a C/TPA. For everyone else, it’s optional.
