Happy Holidays, From Your Friends At DriverCheck!
FMCSA Regulatory Change Coming to 413 (Effective Jan. 6, 2023)
Effective January 6th, 2023, the current requirement to complete a drug and alcohol background check using Form 413 when hiring a new driver will no longer be required. This is because the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse will contain the minimum 3-year history on most regulated drivers, as required under the DOT drug and alcohol regulation Title 49 CFR Part 382.413.
