Don’t lose your CDL! The November 18 deadline is near.

The countdown has begun: thousands of drivers in the United States are at risk of losing their Commercial Driver's License (CDL) due to the new Clearinghouse II regulations. The November 18 deadline is crucial to prevent your license from being downgraded if you are in a "prohibited" status. Act now to protect your career and livelihood.



  1. What does the downgrade of your CDL mean?

Clearinghouse II aims to enhance safety by closely monitoring each driver’s status. Any driver in "prohibited" status is at risk of a downgrade, which means losing their license to operate commercial vehicles.


  1. How do you know if you are at risk?

If you have had any drug- or alcohol-related violation since January 2020, your license could be in danger. To date, 287,984 violations have been recorded, 81% of which are related to drugs.


  1. Steps to protect your license before November 18:

    1. Check your status in the Clearinghouse: Be sure to review your profile and make sure there are no alerts or pending violations.

    2. Complete the Return-to-Work (RTW) process, if applicable: Those with pending violations must go through the RTW program with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).

    3. Guidance and support: If you need assistance, we’re here to provide you with all the resources needed to meet the requirements before the deadline.


  2. What happens if you don’t comply before November 18?

Losing your CDL could have serious consequences for your career, including the suspension of your license and the possibility that companies will stop hiring you.


The deadline is approaching fast, and it’s essential to act now to protect your future and ensure your livelihood. If you need help with the process, don’t hesitate to contact us! Our team is here to guide you and help you meet all the requirements before it’s too late.
