    You need two accounts. One for the business and a personal account,then follow the instructions on the business account to ask permission from yourself to do a query. After you receive the request you log into your personal account and approve the request.

    Yea it was a bit confusing last year doing it, I was on the phone with OOIDA and they walked me through it :p

    This time I was done in 10 minutes, once someone gave me the website.

    Dumbest. Government. Idea. Ever.

    "Let me check myself. Oops! Didn't report myself for anything, so I'm good!"

    (yes, I understand the MROs can submit info, but still...)

    I’d have more respect if they would have just called it something like this…..

    BS.GOV

    or

    MORECONTROLOVERCDLDRIVERS.GOV

    same for UCR. It literally does nothing and all they spend the money on is having a huge party in Jackson Hole or Aspen every year.

    Truth be told I waited almost one year after getting my authority to set myself up to check on myself. Run a query on myself (that sounds so gay). Told the guy from my consortium how dumb it was and I hate the government.

    I know youre supposed to do it once a year. Last year I ran a check 12/22, this year it was 12/27...... now that you said that, I feel better about "being late" lol

    I had to call the Clearinghouse for help. They were helpful. From what I understood, only one query (limited) is required per year. Doesn’t matter if it’s done by your Consortium ( who you give permission to) or yourself as a Company, on yourself as a Driver. I had Ooida do my first one in December 2020. I supposedly paid for 2, and thought I’d be covered for December 2021. I called Ooida in April, and asked if I was good. They checked for me, and said it was never done for 2021. So they pulled one for me in April, 4 mos. late. That’s what I get. Even though the website showed 2 within the last year, it also only showed 2 total December 2020, and April 2022. So I pulled another limited query, now I’m good till next December, instead of April. Apparently a prepaid “plan” can only be purchased by the Owner (Me) @ $1.25 each query. I bought 5 for $6.25. That’ll be enough for my Consortium to do an annual query if needed. I misunderstood, and thought the Consortium would handle it annually, since you’re allowed to designate them to pull queries. My mistake, now I understand, must do one as a Company on myself as a Driver. Can’t rely on the Consortium to pull one annually. That makes sense. I think I got it now!!! Thanks to this thread. I read something about possibility up to $2600 fine for non compliance. More BS. One more straw on my back, and I’m done!! Lol.
