Over 177k drivers risk losing their license under November 18 rule change and crackdown will happen every year

Under the latest ruling from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), truck drivers listed as ‘prohibited’ in the Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse have until November 18 to take action.

According to the FMCSA’s latest report, 163,318 holders of Commercial Driver’s Licenses and Commercial Learner’s Permits are currently classified as ‘prohibited’ in the Clearinghouse – a database tracking violations of the FMCSA’s drug and alcohol testing program.

These drivers are being urged to begin their Return-to-Duty process or risk losing their commercial driving privileges. 

Starting November 18, 2024, State Driver’s Licensing Agencies will be asked to revoke licenses of drivers still listed as ‘prohibited’.
