Drug & Alcohol Records Pack for New Carriers

$12

Five of the 16 automatic-failure violations in a new entrant audit are drug and alcohol items (49 CFR 385.321). This pack shows what a compliant program looks like on paper. It covers what must be in place on day one, what to keep and for how long, and how the Clearinghouse fits in, with each point cited to Part 382. It organizes your records; it does not replace your consortium/C/TPA or a written policy.

Program checklist mapped to 49 CFR Part 382 and Part 40: policy, pre-employment, random, post-accident
Owner-operator rules: random pool of 2+ (consortium) and C/TPA designation in the Clearinghouse
Clearinghouse step-by-step: register, designate C/TPA, buy queries, consent, query, report
Retention table (1/2/3/5 years) with section citations
Excel logs (random, results, Clearinghouse, pool roster) + Word policy receipt and post-accident record

Accurate as of Oct 2026. Educational tool, not legal advice. Does not guarantee passing an audit. Independent publication. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by FMCSA or USDOT.
