Pre-employment Query

A Pre-employment Query is a full query that requires the driver to be registered and log in to provide electronic consent.

The Pre-employment Query will update violations for the driver that are reported within 30 days of the Pre-employment Query, a notification will be sent to the employer notifying them that information in the FMCSA Clearinghouse has changed for that driver. A driver is required to provide electronic consent to a Pre-employment Query and have a status of “Not Prohibited” prior to being placed into a DOT regulated safety-sensitive position.
