If a driver has had more than one violation, this will show up on “Violation History” of the driver’s DOT Clearinghouse dashboard. Many new drivers are not familiar with their dashboard (until a violation occurs).   The driver’s dashboard will show the following:

1) Date a violation was put on the Clearinghouse

2) Reason for a test

3) Who reported it to the Clearinghouse: (for a drug test, the name of the MRO (Medical Review Officer); for an alcohol test or refusal, the name of whoever entered the information on behalf of the employer.)

I always encourage my new clients to spend some time getting familiar with their Clearinghouse dashboard.  This will help them during the SAP process and afterwards when they are required to undergo their random drug screens.
