FMCSA Clearinghouse queries, consent and reporting
Clearinghouse support should leave the carrier with working records, not just a login. The service scope should identify who manages account access, who keeps consent records, who runs queries, who receives notifications and who reports information when a violation or return-to-duty event must be entered.
The annual-query record should identify the driver, query type, date, consent and result. If a limited query shows information exists, complete a full query within 24 hours. If the full query is not completed within 24 hours, remove the driver from safety-sensitive duties until the full query is completed and confirms the driver is not prohibited.
Clearinghouse administration for Georgia employers
Clearinghouse duties are federal and most administration can be handled online for an employer in Georgia. If a driver’s CDL or CLP is affected, the relevant licensing agency may be Georgia’s or another state’s, depending on where the license was issued; provider location does not decide reinstatement.
Securely prepare the Part 382 roster (including CDL and CLP holders), query deadlines and details of incomplete consent or reporting tasks. Use the proper query and consent route; provider assistance cannot bypass a prohibited status or remove a valid violation.

DOT compliance questions for Georgia
Is a limited Clearinghouse query enough before hiring a CDL driver?
All pre-employment queries must be full queries, with the driver’s electronic consent in the Clearinghouse. A limited query is used for a different purpose and does not replace that check.
How often must an employer query the Clearinghouse?
Employers must query each currently employed driver subject to Part 382 at least annually, including applicable CDL and CLP holders. Keep a dated schedule and address any information found through the appropriate full-query process.
Can a C/TPA run Clearinghouse queries for an employer?
An employer can designate a C/TPA to conduct queries on its behalf. The employer still needs its own account, query plan and a clear agreement on duties.
Who sells Clearinghouse query plans?
Query plans are purchased from the FMCSA Clearinghouse. A provider’s administration fee is separate from the official query-plan charge.
Are the listed providers based in Georgia?
The results are filtered by declared service coverage for Georgia. A provider may work remotely or cover several areas. Confirm whether they can serve Georgia and whether an in-person appointment is needed.
