hello everyone,
Soo about a year ago I got my Class A license from a private trucking school where I took my first and only alcohol/drug test.
When I apply to a company that asks for my permission (on the application) to access my clearinghouse, do they communicate with the trucking school by phone or email ?
Or is the report automatically sent to the trucking carrier by the fmcsa/dot ?
Clearinghouse Record (1 test).

I THINK the point of Clearinghouse is your results from school are in a file cabinet (clearinghouse) that future employers access even if school goes kaput.
I'm not sure the results from school will be in your clearinghouse record. I am sure any test given by cops or current/prospective employers are in your record. I'm pretty sure communication is electronic, not phone.
Why are you worried about the test at school?Concorde and alex.24CSL Thank this. -
The company communicates with the clearinghouse..that’s it.
If you failed the test it’ll be reported to the clearinghouse by the school.alex.24CSL and tscottme Thank this. -
Ok, I understand. The reason I asked was to know if my trucking school gets notice of where I apply to work (potential employer).
Concorde Thanks this. -
I definitely passed. I just wanted to know if the trucking carriers can access the clearinghouse report automatically once we give consent. Thank you
Concorde Thanks this. -
You’ll give permission electronically through your personal clearinghouse account. If you don’t have one yet you’ll have to get signed up.
Sounds like you’re just now trying to get a driving job? -
@alex.24CSL
Here’s a link to the clearinghouse if you don’t have an account yet.

School might find out which trucking companies contact them to verify your attendance/passing their training, but that won't necessarily tell school who hires you. Did school give you a certificate of completion? Company may accept that & not contact school? There are some trucking company owners on this forum. I'm sure they know the answers about this.nextgentrucker and Concorde Thank this.

Yes, I am getting ready to apply & I hope to attend an orientation in December/January

Just apply to the company and check the box that you haven't failed a drug test. Let the trucking company handle the rest.nextgentrucker, tscottme and alex.24CSL Thank this.
